Towne Bookkeeping provides bookkeeping for churches and non-profit organizations in Edmonton and area.
Transparency matters to your donors, funders, leaders, and board. We work with your staff, treasurer, and volunteers to keep your books current, easy to read, and compliant with CRA and grant requirements. Received gaming proceeds? We’ll track those funds to stay compliant with AGLC.
Every dollar matters in charity work. So beyond keeping the books, we help build and monitor budgets. We can also help save time and money by improving processes and streamlining systems with practical tools and best practices.
Most of all, we handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on your mission and your people.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a bookkeeper do for churches and non‑profits?
A bookkeeper manages the entire bookkeeping cycle: donations and deposits, expense processing, payroll, fund and grant tracking, reconciliations, reporting, and process improvements, all tuned to the needs of boards and funders.
How does that help pastors, directors, and boards?
Your bookkeeper keeps transactions current and the books tidy, so leaders have timely, easy‑to‑read reports. That means confident decisions, fewer surprises, and audit‑ready records for grants, CRA and AGLC.
Can we pick only the services we need?
Yes. Every organization is different. We’ll tailor a package to your needs. Contact us for a free consultation.
How much do your services cost?

How do we know if we need a bookkeeper?
You likely need a professional bookkeeper if:
- Your financial records are out‑of‑date and leaders lack clear reports.
- Grant deadlines cause stress and pulling data takes too long.
- Your donor system and your books don’t match.
- The volume or complexity of bookkeeping work has grown.
- You’d rather spend time on ministry and programs than on spreadsheets.
