Accounting Manager

At ACST powered by Vanco, we bring together two mission-driven organizations united in service to ministries, churches, schools, and the communities they serve. ACST is guided by a longstanding purpose to build the Kingdom by being a trusted partner in the daily ministry life of every church, delivering solutions that help ministries operate with greater clarity, connection, and impact. Vanco complements this mission through its commitment to serve those who enrich their communities, providing secure, intuitive payment and administrative technology trusted by tens of thousands of faith-based and nonprofit organizations. Together, ACST and Vanco offer a seamlessly connected ecosystem that empowers organizations to spend less time managing systems and more time focusing on people and purpose.

In 2024, ACST launched a bookkeeping service to provide churches with the financial support and expertise they need to grow healthy, thriving ministries. Our mission is simple: to help churches simplify, organize, and manage their finances so they can focus on what matters most serving their communities.
