About Us

Kesef is a national company

with clients all over the country


We have a wealth of expertise in accounting, bookkeeping and systems. In over 75 years of collective experience our founders have worked with organizations large and small, bottom-line driven and not-for-profit.

We noticed one thing consistently: small and mid-sized organizations have a desperate need for a reliable, efficient and affordable bookkeeping service. Synagogues in particular seemed woefully underserved. Administrators, board members and volunteers all had a common list of concerns:

 

• Special trips to approve expenses were inefficient for both board members and staff.

• Synching the books with your membership database software including Chaverware™, ShulCloud™, MM2000™ and others required special knowledge not contained within the synagogue.

• Only the bookkeeper knew where everything was.

• There was always a scramble to prepare reports before board meetings.

• Safeguards against fraud were inconsistent, too expensive or difficult to enforce.

• Paper was everywhere, but information was seldom readily available or relative.

• Auditor raised concerns about single-person control by the bookkeeper.

• Getting members to pay from snail-mail statements was costly.

Kesef Accounting Service was created to answer these concerns and provide a complete, seamless bookkeeping solution for synagogues. We make your information available to the people who need it, when they need it. Find out more about our services or meet our principals.
