About Us
Welcome to Benkorp. We specialise in providing accounting solutions tailored specifically for churches.
It all started back in 1995 when Benkorp Management Services was born out of a simple (but
powerful) idea: Churches and Not-For-Profits shouldn’t have to wrestle with confusing
finances on their own. We saw volunteer treasurers, board members, and CFOs juggling
spreadsheets and compliance with little support—and thought, there’s got to be a better way!
Fast forward to today, we’ve teamed up with over 1,200 organisations (and counting!) to
raise the bar in financial management for this vital sector.
At Benkorp, we’re all about making finance feel less like a burden and more like a breeze.
With end-to-end bookkeeping and custom-fit packages, we help you spend less time stressing
over numbers—and more time doing what you do best: building community and making a
difference.
The Human Calculators with Heart
Que Jones CPA
Director / Accounting Manager
Que started his career in accounting and bookkeeping in 1998 as a payroll officer for a not-for-profit organisation, YMCA, and later moved into a Public Practice taxation and accounting firm whilst he completed his Accounting Degree. Que has over 20 years of experience in public practice accounting, taxation and business advising, as well as working with local churches as a volunteer in various roles and a member of finance and advisor boards in Catholic schools. He is a real people person and loves getting involved in all levels of the organisations he works with.
When not working, he loves spending time with his young family trying to get outdoors, volunteering at church and in the community, coaching basketball, and watching sport.
Lisa Jones CPA
Accountant
BCom (Acc) with Distinction CPA
Xero Advisor & Payroll Certified
As a young 17 year old, Lisa started out as a Trainee Accountant whilst completing her degree part time and graduating with Distinction. She went on to complete her CPA (with Distinction) and after 23 years of experience in a Public Practice taxation and accounting firm working with a wide range of small to medium enterprises, she decided that she wanted to work for herself. Her main reason was her desire to spend more time with client’s to meet their specific needs rather than a heavy focus on tax compliance.
Lisa enjoys spending time supporting her children in their extra curricular activities. She has a heart for helping people in their time of need and is often found providing meals and support to those in the community struggling with health issues, grief or following the birth of a new baby.
