Built by a pastor, for pastors

We understand the unique tax situation ministers face — dual-status taxation, SE tax on housing allowance, the need for meticulous documentation. ShepherdBooks handles it all with pastor-specific categories like ministry travel, vestments, continuing education, and benevolence.
