Specialized services for clergy, churches and ministries.
Built for ministry
Churches want to focus on their ministry, but payroll, paperwork and taxes still have to get done. Since 1980 we have worked only with clergy, churches and religious organizations, so the rules that confuse other providers are our everyday work.

What our clients say
I recommend CFR to all my co-workers and other clergy. Whether it’s tax prep, withholdings, payroll or other IRS questions, they’re very helpful.
This is the best service for clergy taxes that I have found. For years I used another service and was totally dissatisfied. CFR is an excellent resource. Their staff are extremely helpful along every step in the process and are very good for follow up.
I have worked with Clergy Financial the last 2 years with my personal tax filings. They have always been very helpful and knowledgeable.
Clergy Financial helped our family immensely, especially with questions in our first year of being taxed as ‘clergy’! They were quick to respond to questions, eased our stress, and were very flexible and easy to work with! Highly Recommended!
Focus on your ministry. We’ll handle the rest.
