Hello, All Saints ~
Please find the January financial reports below. The format looks different because I configured QuickBooks to generate the reports automatically so I do not have to retype them in Excel. Also, this year the monthly budget allocation is adjusted for when known actual expenses for quarterly items will be paid, in order to provide a better view of monthly results. For example, the property insurance premium invoice is paid quarterly, so the whole expense would hit in the month in which it is paid.
Major financial related activities that occurred in January include the following:
- The investment of the excess cash in the checking account. We expect to need the excess cash by June, so it was invested in temporary CDs and also in a savings account so that the money will be earning income until the cash is needed.
- The annual worker's compensation audit was completed.
- The parochial report is in process.
- The annual church audit request for initial documentation arrived.
- The analysis of telephone/internet expenses was resumed.
- copier provider met with the rector, the senior warden, and the parish secretary to make a sales pitch, which gave us a good idea of competitive options and bids, which will help us immensely when the contract with our current supplier ends.
- A final analysis of the transfer of the endowment from Associated Bank to the DCT was completed. The attached balance sheet shows the current value of the endowments as of 12/31/2019 at $893,532, with Q4 earnings included. Endowment statements are provided quarterly from the DCT so watch for an update in April 2020.
Pledges for January are $24,013, versus the budgeted amount of $18,333.33. Pledges are, therefore, already $5,680 over budget for the new year. Thank you for your gifts from the heart! We appreciate you!
