Get started

Start with a conversation.

Every ministry is different, and the Lemonade Method isn’t the right answer for every accounting problem. That’s why the first step isn’t signing a contract—it’s a complimentary consultation.

How it works

The client journey

  1. Complimentary 30-minute consultationWe talk about what’s happening inside your ministry, where you’re feeling financial uncertainty, and whether my approach is a good fit.
  2. GatherA focused assessment of your accounting function: processes, reporting, systems, controls, and designated funds.
  3. Findings + Solutions ReportWhat’s working, what’s not, what’s at risk, and a prioritized roadmap, presented to leadership in an executive debrief.
  4. Mix & ServeIf you choose to continue, I step in as your Fractional Controller to implement the plan and build a reliable monthly reporting rhythm.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who do you work with?

Growing churches and faith-based ministries whose accounting complexity has outgrown their current processes and leadership capacity.

Do we have to replace our bookkeeper or accounting staff?

No. Your team stays in place. I lead and support your existing accounting staff, establish deadlines and processes, and help hold the work accountable. Your ministry remains the employer.

Is this an hourly bookkeeping service?

No. Ongoing work is a Controller retainer that provides consistent financial leadership and capacity, not an hourly bookkeeping package. The specific scope is defined in your proposal.

Do we have to commit to everything up front?

No. Gather is a complete standalone assessment. You can take the Findings + Solutions Report and implement it yourself, or continue into Mix and Serve.

What does it cost?

Gather is a fixed-fee assessment, and Mix and Serve are a monthly Controller retainer. We’ll walk through investment details during your consultation, once we understand what your ministry needs.

Are you a CPA? Do you do audits or taxes?

No. I provide Controller services, not audits, tax preparation, or legal and investment advice. I’ll connect you with CPAs and advisors I trust and work alongside them so nothing falls through the cracks.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I’m based in Shasta County, California, and work with ministries remotely across the U.S.
