Lee Ann Crockett graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and practiced as a CPA in the corporate world before founding Bellwether Church Solutions in 2018. She had retired her CPA and thought she was content to be a grandmother while doing bookkeeping as a “side-gig.” One day, a pastor-acquaintance reached out to her to report that he thought their church had been embezzled. She decided to focus solely on church financial services that day, and Bellwether was born. Bellwether provides outside, independent financial services to assist churches in maintaining good stewardship. Lee Ann is driven to provide the tools medium-sized churches need to administer and protect their financial assets. In her book, Preventing Fraud in Church Accounting, she reminds us that the pastor receives little training in administration—especially financial administration—at seminary. This is Lee Ann’s third time to present at the Texas Ministry Conference, and she regularly presents online webinars and at denominational conferences to support good church stewardship.
