Personalized Bookkeeping That Stands Out

“Our nonprofit childcare center/preschool was in need of updating and streamlining our bookkeeping system and processes. Cody has responded quickly to all of my questions. He is easy to relate to and genuinely cares for the details of our business… I would recommend him to anyone in need of a high quality and professional bookkeeping company.”

Great Beginnings Early Childhood Center

“We’ve worked with Cody and Western Slope Bookkeeping since our nonprofit started, and they’ve been excellent to work with. From day one, they’ve kept our books in order and produced helpful reports. They’re reliable, detail-oriented, and incredibly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of nonprofit finances. If you need someone who truly knows their stuff, I can’t recommend them enough.”

The Church Cooperative

“Cody has been so very helpful in getting our church bookkeeping system updated. Would definitely recommend for any of your bookkeeping needs!”

The Founder

A Colorado Bookkeeper Who Speaks Your Language

Western Slope Bookkeeping was founded by Cody Paiva, a former pastor with a Master of Divinity from Denver Seminary and deep roots in the nonprofit and ministry world. Cody brings nearly a decade of nonprofit bookkeeping experience to the table.

What Western Slope Bookkeeping Offers:

Specialized expertise in fund accounting, clergy payroll, and bookkeeping for Colorado churches, church plants, and nonprofits.
Communicative service with Cody, a former pastor – not a rotating team.
Transparent, accessible pricing designed for small to mid-size organizations, with flexible arrangements and no long-term contracts required.
Audit-ready books and compliance with state and IRS requirements specific to nonprofits and churches.
Plain-language financial reporting, so leaders can make confident decisions.

Core Capabilities

Built for Colorado Churches, Ministries & Church Plants

Monthly Bookkeeping & Reporting

Built for faith-based organizations that need ongoing, reliable support. We maintain your books, prepare monthly reports, and translate the numbers into clear insights.

Cleanup & Catch-Up Work

Inherited a mess or fallen behind on reconciliations? We bring your books up to date, resolve fund discrepancies, and get your ledgers fully audit-ready so you can lead without financial stress.

Formation & QBO Migration Support

Planting a church or transitioning away from QuickBooks Desktop or spreadsheets? We establish your financial foundation right from day one, including Form 1023 support and custom Chart of Accounts setups.

The Process

Three steps to total financial confidence.

Connect & Explore Fit

Drop your info below to start a conversation. We’ll get to know your ministry, see if we’re a good partnership fit, and figure out the simplest path to get your books where they need to be.

Build a Tailored Plan

Every church operates differently, so we never force you into a one-size-fits-all package. We’ll look at your current systems and volunteer capacity to build a flexible proposal. From there, you can tailor the exact services to fit your ministry’s unique needs and budget.

Get Back to Your Mission

Before taking over the monthly bookkeeping, we guide your team through a careful onboarding process. We take the time to learn your history and connect our systems securely. Once the handoff is complete, you get clean financials and peace of mind.

The Bottom Line

Your mission is important.
Your books should reflect that.

Transparent Ministry Pricing

Monthly partnerships start at $400/month, scaling up based on transaction volume, restricted fund complexity, the services we provide, and annual revenue. One-time cleanup projects are quoted flat-rate. Zero long-term contracts.
