Sound Familiar?

You Didn't Join the Board to Become a Bookkeeper

Between building funds, restricted donations, tuition, and dues, synagogue finances get complicated fast, and most bookkeepers have never seen a shul's books before.

Your treasurer is a volunteer with a full-time job, and now a second, unpaid one.

Restricted funds, endowments, and building campaigns never quite reconcile.

The board sees numbers every month, but never the full financial picture.

Your bookkeeper has never heard of a Kol Nidre appeal, a building fund, or dues assessments.

There's a better way

Common Questions

What Boards and Treasurers Usually Ask

Do you only work with QuickBooks Online?

Yes. We specialize exclusively in QuickBooks Online, including conversions from other systems, so every client gets the same CPA-owned and managed process.

We already use ShulCloud™. Does that matter?

Not at all. We regularly integrate with ShulCloud™ and other shul-management platforms alongside QuickBooks Online. Read how ShulCloud and QuickBooks Online fit together

We work with Kesef today. Can we switch?

Yes. Onboarding typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, your synagogue keeps ownership of its QuickBooks file, and in-person onboarding is available. See how Shul Keeper compares to Kesef

Can we start with just partial support?

Absolutely. Many congregations start with bookkeeping support only and expand into full CPA-level services later. It scales with you.

How fast can we get started?

Most congregations are fully onboarded within a few weeks of our first call, without disrupting your current financial operations.

What does it cost?

Every congregation's needs are different, so pricing is customized after a short discovery call. No cookie-cutter packages.

Refer & Earn

Know a Synagogue That Could Use Financial Clarity?

If your congregation works with us and loves it, chances are your colleagues at other shuls could use the same relief. Refer a synagogue that signs on with Shul Keeper, and we'll say thank you with a credit of up to 80% off one month of your regular Shul Keeper fee.

Available to current Shul Keeper clients. The credit is applied to your account once the referred congregation becomes an active client. Final eligibility and terms are determined by Shul Keeper.
