Funeral Home Accounting
The numbers are the heart of your business…
Drawing on our long experience in the death care profession, we have developed accounting systems specifically formatted and detailed for the funeral home professional. Taking advantage of advanced technology, we installed all our sophisticated accounting and reporting systems on-line. This allows us to provide an “up-to-the-minute” financial view of your business!
There is no question that our Funeral Home Accounting services and systems provide the most complete, most understandable, and most useful presentation of accounting information for funeral home and cemetery operators anywhere.
Funeral Home Accounting Service Options:
Completely web-based-Web access to our customized version of Director’s Assistant.Net and web access to our customized version of QuickBooks Enterprise Edition not sold in stores.
Partially web-based-The client will continue the use of their funeral directing program with web access to our customized version of QuickBooks Enterprise. This option allows clients to continue to use their current management program.
Paper transmission-The client will send us all of their data for income, expense, and cash receipts and we will process the data ourselves.
Value Identifiers Compared to other Accounting Firms
It is difficult to find an accountant that uses a funeral business specific tested chart of accounts like Johnson Consulting does. Our service provides a comprehensive funeral business profit and loss statement, budgeting capabilities and comparisons, and can cost significantly less than doing it yourself…..In fact we typically have saved our clients a significant amount of money and time in accounting labor costs and computer support by switching to our system. (We have been known to save our larger volume clients hundreds of thousands of dollars! No Kidding!) It is for this reason that the funeral home accounting division is one of Johnson Consulting Group’s fastest growing segments!

Easy to get Started and Use
We have invested heavily in a computer infrastructure that allows for 24/7 response time and quick turnaround of funeral business financial results. Our clients do not install any of the software on their computers, rather they connect to a central server that hosts the software. This allows for quick customer support and training and a large reduction in MIS support at the location level. Our staff has direct access to the programming teams of our software vendors so our customers no longer have to wait for call backs from computer or software companies. Johnson Consulting Group handles all issues! Also, since the program is already installed before you sign up, setup is quick and painless. Again, all MIS support is eliminated.
- All setup is done over the internet, no travel required to the funeral home. All training and ongoing support is also handled over the internet.
- JCG handles all of the setup and can have a funeral home client connected to their company and running their accounting system in less than 5 working days from the signing of the engagement.
- Paperless, which means the client does not have to copy and send all contracts, invoices, check copies and bank statements for data input as required by other accounting companies systems.
Knowledge of the Funeral Home and Cemetery
We know the industry as opposed to a local accountant that will probably not have many other funeral home clients to draw experience from.
Monthly funeral home Trend Analysis reports (Modified P&L) are more detailed than the competition. All significant financial information is on one summary report instead of having to look through multiple reports. Our trend report displays funeral call volume, case types, average sale, prior two year’s activity, current budget, by month activity, year-to-date activity, and an EBITDA total for tracking value. As you can imagine, this is quite an extensive and useful monthly funeral business management tool.
It is not just an accounting system, it is a management tool that provides budgets, trend analysis, industry standards and benchmarks and pinpoints areas to focus on and improve.
