Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
A bookkeeper is an accounting professional that manages all detailed transactions, trends, reporting, financial data, and organization to ensure that all documents provide the most true and accurate view of your financial health.
An accountant is known as someone who may also manage detailed transactions and financial data, however, an accountant may delve deeper into analytics, statistical insights, and assessing strategies related to business growth.
There are many types of accountants, yet, some of the most known accountants may hold a licensure as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) which allows them to file taxes on behalf of a person or business.
What does Galatians Bookkeeping do that’s different from traditional bookkeeping?
While many bookkeeping firms solely offer data management, Galatians Bookkeeping also includes reporting and strategy implementation that helps clients to effectively use their data to assess the best next step.
What is a tithe?
A tithe is one-tenth or ten percent (10%) of a given amount whether money, livestock, or general possessions.
Tithes are often mentioned in the Bible as a command to give one-tenth of all earnings to the ‘storehouse’ which can also be referred to as the Church.
At Galatians Bookkeeping, we believe that giving a tithe of all gross earnings is proper and true as commanded by God.
What if I do not want to tithe?
Though it is strongly encouraged, we at Galatians Bookkeeping do not force our clients to tithe or give funds to any particular organization. Should a client choose not to tithe, we respect their decision. We would, however, encourage all to consider the benefits versus consequences found in Malachi 3:8.

What kind of experience do you have?
Finance Manager, Angelise, at Galatians Bookkeeping has obtained a BA in Psychology and a Master of Public Health (MPH) with over 10 years in proven leadership, strategic planning, and finance management. During this experience, Angelise has managed several multi-million dollar projects that required cross-functional collaboration among global partners.
As a Finance Manager who is also dedicated to implementing Christ-based business principles, Angelise stands as a testament to the power of gentle leadership, obedience to God by the grace of God, and generosity.
Do you file taxes?
We do not file taxes on behalf of our clients. However, as the bookkeeping team, we are responsible for ensuring that all reports, transactions, and documents are organized and accurate for the tax preparer or CPA to file on your behalf.
What are your prices?
Our prices are tiered and based on the annual gross revenue (before expenses) of our clients’ business. Prices start at $1500 per month.
How would the service price be adjusted as more/less revenue comes into the client’s business?
We typically review service price on an annual basis, however, if the increase or decrease of revenue is drastic (>$200K), we may need to adjust service price accordingly within a shorter timespan. These changes will be discussed with our client and confirmed in writing before invoice changes are reflected.
Are there any discounts available?
Discounts are available to non-profit organizations only.
We humbly recommend all new clients consider the value of having clarity on your finances, getting your time back to do the work you love, and finally getting relief that your accounting is being handled correctly.
Additionally, we would humbly ask clients to consider an analogy : Would it be appropriate to ask a surgeon to lower the cost of their services for any reason? Due to the skill of the surgeon and valuable nature of what is at stake, it is not possible to lower price point without the potential of encountering greater risk.
In the same way, we do not offer discounts nor do we lower our price as the skill required to complete all tasks does not change nor does the risk.
Do you have any references I can speak to?
No. We respect the privacy, confidentiality, and time of our clients. Due to the high volume of prospects that we encounter, we do not deem it appropriate to have new prospects calling our clients on a weekly or monthly basis.
However, to see what others have said about our work, you can visit our testimonials page, Google reviews page, or ask us any additional questions for clarification.
You may also visit our YouTube page or Podcast where we have posted several hours of content for consideration and review.
How many clients do you currently have? Do you have the bandwidth to support new clients?
The number of clients that we service changes on a rolling basis. However, within the last two years, we have managed over $10M in revenue and several of our clients have operated as multi-million dollar businesses.
We are committed to ensuring that you receive the best service possible. In terms of bandwidth, the systems and operations that we have implemented allow us to manage a larger-than-normal volume given the expertise in the field and custom formulas that have been developed for our clients.

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and good - Proverbs 15:3
People do not despise a thief. If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving. Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; he may have to give us all the substance of his house - Proverbs 6:30
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? - Matthew 16:26
And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. - Hebrews 4:13
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. - Revelation 20:12
But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. - Revelation 21:8
Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven. - Proverbs 23:5
How do you securely maintain original data and backup?
All client related data will be store in a cloud-based folder where both client and Galatians Bookkeeping will have access. Should there be any need for backing up items or file on a desktop, we are more than happy to coordinate.
Do I need to clean up my books before you start?
No. The messier the books, the better! We are happy to start right where you are today. We are truly excited to see you get back to the work that you love, thus, there is no need to complete any cleanup as there is a chance that those tasks will be redone by the Galatians Bookkeeping team :)
Do I need a business bank account before you start?
