15 years for Austin — and about to come home.
Founded in 2009 and giving generously ever since, Northpoint is funding a $1.9M build while still paying rent on its current space and walking with the Fountain of Life Church in Juja, Kenya. It's a beautiful, busy season — and the kind of season where the finances need to be crystal clear every single month, not reconstructed at year-end. That's the entire reason for this proposal.
Your Financial Command Center — refreshed every month.
Every month, your leadership opens one link — in Northpoint's colors — and sees exactly where the money is. No spreadsheets to decode, no waiting on a report. This is the live view you'll get, built from your own books.
Every month, this dashboard answers — instantly:
How much cash do we have, and which way is it trending toward move-in?
Are we on plan? Income vs. expense, every month, no surprises.
Where is the money going — by ministry, staffing, and facilities?
How is giving, and how is FUEL 2026 tracking against the goal?
Where do our funds stand — operating, building, restricted, and the LLC?
What needs a decision — flagged for the board before it becomes a problem.
Divided by control — so the board can trust it.
The cleanest way to divide the work isn't by task — it's by control. Turnkey handles record-keeping, processing, reporting, and compliance. Northpoint keeps custody of the money, authorization, and every donor relationship. The people who touch the money never record it; the people who record it never approve it. That's the separation of duties a church board expects to see.
Turnkey CFO handles
- Your general ledger, monthly close & all financial reporting
- AP & expense processing and coding (on Ramp)
- Bank, Square, Venmo & Benevity reconciliation
- Fund accounting — operating, building, restricted & the LLC
- Giving-health analytics (GivFlow) & annual giving statements
- Weekly cash & the monthly board package + this dashboard
- W-2 / 1099 issuance
Northpoint keeps
- Counting & handling all cash, checks & deposits
- Final authorization of every payment & payroll run
- Donor relationships & pastoral giving conversations
- People & giving records in Planning Center
- Ministry purchasing & scholarship decisions
- Adding & removing users on bank & card platforms
Three systems become one — and your fees disappear.
Today Northpoint runs three overlapping systems — Bill.com (AP), Expensify (expenses), and Capital One (cards). We'll consolidate all three onto Ramp, a platform we already run for other churches. Every charge gets coded the moment it happens, so the books stay continuously close-ready — and the subscription fees go to zero.
- Real-time coding. Every charge classified as it happens — no month-end reconstruction.
- One platform replaces three. Cards, bill pay & expenses in one source of truth.
- No platform cost. Ramp is free — Bill.com & Expensify fees eliminated.
- Controls built in. Card limits, approvals & receipt capture preserve separation of duties.
- Direct QuickBooks sync. Coded transactions flow straight to the GL.
About what you pay today — for a partner, not just a bookkeeper.
Here's the honest math, straight from your books — Turnkey's fee, measured against what you actually pay today, then offset by the real Ramp savings. Tier 1 saves you money; Tier 2 lands at breakeven — the full advisory partnership for essentially what you spend now.
≈ $3,070 / yr
- Books current every month — not a quarter behind
- This live board dashboard + a monthly board package
- Fund accounting — operating, building, restricted & the LLC
- Giving-health analytics + annual giving statements
- Real-time AP & expense coding on Ramp
- All bank / card / giving-platform reconciliation + W-2 / 1099
- Free Ramp setup + free cleanup & onboarding
~$0 — plus the $500 credit
- Annual budget build with your ministry leaders
- Cash-flow forecasting through move-in
- FUEL 2026 campaign & restricted-fund reporting
- Related-party (LLC) reporting for the board
- A standing monthly leadership / board review
Bottom line: Tier 1 saves Northpoint ~$3,070 a year and turns a part-time bookkeeper into a full finance team with a live board dashboard. Tier 2 adds a true finance partner for essentially what you pay today — breakeven, plus the $500 Ramp credit and every gain above.
