A clear checklist for your records
A dedicated point of contact
Scope and fees agreed before we start
CLEAR RECORDS. INFORMED TRUSTEES.
Your funds.
Clearly explained.
From donations and grants to everyday spending, we help bring the financial picture together. The accounts and reporting scope are agreed around your charity’s circumstances.
01 / REVIEW
Understand your charity.
We review your structure, records and funding arrangements, then confirm the accounts work and information needed.
02 / PREPARE
Bring the funds into focus.
We prepare the agreed accounts, working through income, spending and fund information, and ask about anything that needs clarification.
03 / EXPLAIN
Give trustees a clear view.
We explain the draft figures, answer questions and agree the next steps for approval, any external scrutiny and reporting.
Know what’s included.
Accounts preparation is separate from an independent examination or audit. We’ll confirm any support with the trustees’ report, regulatory filings and bookkeeping, and identify any external scrutiny needed.
Structure and previous reporting
Your governing document, registration details, year-end date and previous accounts, along with relevant regulator correspondence.
Income and spending records
Bookkeeping, bank statements, donation and fundraising records, invoices and receipts covering the accounting period.
Grants and fund information
Funding agreements, donor conditions and records showing how money has been used, including details of any restricted funds.
Other balances and trustee information
Details of assets, liabilities and commitments where relevant, plus changes in trustees, activities or arrangements that may affect reporting.
