Denver’s premier boutique accounting firm specializing in church and ministry outsourced bookkeeping and CFO services.

Welcome

About Us

Our History

Bright & Associates, LLC, founded in 2014 by Todd Bright, was started with a desire to see God’s kingdom advance and ministry flourish.

While there are many roles to making this a reality, the part Todd desired to play was, and remains, that of providing highly-skilled outsourced financial services so that ministry leaders could focus their full attention to the work God had set before them. Since that time, the firm has expanded and had the opportunity to come alongside numerous churches and ministries both within Colorado and across the globe.

As a firm that specializes in church and non-profit finances, Bright & Associates is distinctly aware of both the challenges and joys that ministry work can entail. While the call to ministry may involve a variety of challenges, though, it is our philosophy that the financial process should not be one of them. Because of that, our goal is to streamline and simplify whatever we can for the organizations we work with so they can focus on what they do best.

Our Mission

Kingdom minded. Stewardship focused. At Bright & Associates, this is more than a tagline – it’s our mindset and mission.

As Denver’s premier boutique accounting firm specializing in church and ministry outsourced bookkeeping and CFO services, we strive to be kingdom partners with the organizations we serve. We seek to do this by coming alongside the financial needs of the ministry – small or great – so those within the organization can focus on the mission to which they have been called.
