What it is

SETONacademy is how you access expertise — in any form you need it. Structured training when you want to build competency internally. Talent placement when you need people. Consulting when you just need a conversation with someone who knows what they're doing.

Three ways to get the expertise you need.

Build it, borrow it, or just ask us. Whichever fits the situation.

01 · Training & Tools

Build competency. Stay compliant.

Structured curriculum and diagnostic tools that bring your staff up to the Bishop's financial and technology competency standards — and keep them there.

  • Financial competency (certification-track)
  • Technology competency (cybersecurity basics, systems hygiene)
  • Parish Finance Manual deep-dives
  • Continuing education tracking
  • Audit-readiness workshops
  • Finance Council development

02 · Talent

Full-time. Fractional. Exactly the measure you need.

We provide the talent and skills your ministry needs, in the dose you need them — from full-time placements to fractional CFOs to overnight bridge staffing when a resignation becomes a crisis.

  • Full-time recruiting & placement
  • Fractional CFO engagements
  • Fractional business manager
  • Emergency bookkeeper deployment
  • Interim leadership during transitions
  • Successor training & handoff

03 · Consulting

If we don't know, we'll find someone who does.

Strategic guidance across ministry, finance, data, and technology. Just call. If we don't have the expertise on hand (we'll be surprised), we'll go find it for you.

  • Ministry operations & programs
  • Financial strategy & capital projects
  • Data & analytics
  • Technology roadmap & architecture
  • Facilities & capital planning
  • Governance & Finance Council advisory

Who it's for.

01

Parishes building internal competency

Train existing staff to the Bishop's certification standard — avoid audit penalties without replacing your team.

02

Parishes in staffing crisis

Emergency bridge staffing when a bookkeeper or business manager leaves unexpectedly.

03

Parishes & schools needing fractional leaders

CFO-level strategic guidance without the full-time hire.

04

Anyone who just needs to talk it through

Working through a decision? Pick up the phone. We'll talk, we'll think, and we'll find the answer together.

The promise

"Just call. If we don't have the expertise on hand, we'll go find it for you."
