“Consulting Associates has worked with our church for the past 10 years in various areas.  A very talented professional, Dr. Tatum has been able to master any financial assignment we have had an expressed need for.  We are fortunate to have John there for us to work on an array of accounting projects.  John does an outstanding job.” C.D., Business Administrator, Texas

“Dr. Tatum’s help in getting our church set up on PowerChurch, is immeasurable.  His expertise was extremely helpful in creating a chart of accounts that will meet the church’s needs.  Not only is he a wonderful, knowledgeable, man but also he is a great teacher.  Anyone who uses his services is in good hands. ” C.S., CPA, Church Bookkeeper, Arizona

“Dr. Tatum was an answer to my prayer. I had little to no training on PowerChurch.  He set-up our financial books for the church that was very understandable.  He is an asset to us, he is always available by a telephone call.”  J.M., Church Secretary, Texas

“I love the simple fact that Dr. Tatum is ALWAYS available when needed by phone or email.  No question is ever too small or insignificant.” W.C., Administrative Secretary, Texas

“Earlier this year Dr. Tatum updated our PowerChurch accounting system.  Dr. Tatum always responds to my questions promptly whether through a Fax, e-mail or phone call.  It is a relief to know that if a question arises, I am still welcome to contact Dr. Tatum for his advice.  That kind of sincere commitment to our organization is rare and greatly appreciated.”  K.S., Bookkeeper,  Louisiana

“I have been very pleased and grateful for the personal training and assistance I have received. I was a new church secretary and had no bookkeeping skills at all; Dr. Tatum’s thorough knowledge and patience has been so helpful.” C.D., Church Secretary, Texas

“I liked Dr. Tatum immediately.  He is friendly, open and totally available to his clients without making them feel dumb.  He has the heart of a teacher.”  K.T. , Financial Secretary, Texas
