Charities and Not-for-Profit Accounting
Expert Charity Accountants Supporting the Fight for Good
We at The Blessing & Contract Limited believe in supporting the fight for good. Our formats of accounting for charities and non-profits are tailored to the financial and regulatory demands of charitable institutions, community organisations, and social enterprises. The organisations that operate are subject to very strict governance structures and hence are required to remain transparent and accountable while also being expected to cultivate goodwill in any resource use. The compliance, and with it, the reporting, will be managed by us so that you may concentrate entirely on your mission to ensure maximum impact on the ground.
Expertise in the Charity Sector
Charities and nonprofits must follow specific financial and reporting frameworks that vastly differ from those of the profit-making world. Our team has an approximate depth of experience in this domain, touching on charity law, regulatory exposures, and accounting and technical standards. Whether you are establishing a new charity, managing grants, or preparing your end-of-the-year accounts, you can be sure that every aspect of your financial management will be in consonance with the most recent legal obligations and the best practice in the field.
A Full Suite of Charity Solutions
We offer a complete range of professional services tailored to meet the operational and financial needs of charitable entities.
Charity Registration and Governance Advice
Setting up and running a charity involves several levels and stages: registration, setting out governance structures, and laying down financial policies. We guide you through every level and stage, such that you meet all legal definitions of charitable status and still create considerable underpinning for good governance and accountability.
Preparation of Annual Charity Accounts and Trustees’ Reports
Charities must prepare annual financial statements and trustees’ reports that accurately reflect their activities and financial performance. Policies that we familiarise ourselves with in preparing the documents are the Charity Commission’s guidelines and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) to make your reports as transparent and compliant as possible.
Independent Examination of Charity Accounts
For charities that do not require a full audit, we offer independent examination services to verify that your financial records are accurate and meet regulatory standards. This cost-effective service provides confidence to trustees, donors, and regulators alike.
Grant Management and Reporting
Proper use of grant income is essential for accountability and future funding. We assist in the tracking, allocation, and reporting of grants to ensure that the funds are applied in accordance with donor expectations and the project’s objectives.
Payroll and Staff Cost Allocations
Staff of charities are often engaged in diverse projects or funding streams. We manage the payroll administration and suggest accurate allocation of staff costs so as to ensure clarity in your accounts and to contribute to your compliance report to the funder.
Financial Training for Trustees and Administrators
Making your team financially literate, we are on a path to giving them power. Our tailor-made training courses help trustees and administrative staff decipher financial accounts, budgets, and compliance requirements so they can put their knowledge to use in making decisions that impact the sustainability of the organisation.
