Milton Keynes Chartered Accountants for charities, clubs & associations.
Doing good shouldn’t mean fighting the paperwork.
Straightforward accounting, reporting and compliance for charities, clubs and associations — without complexity or wasted spend.
The reality of the not-for-profit sector
Not-for-profitaccounting matters.
Charities, clubs and associations operate under different financial rules — often with trustees, volunteers, restricted funds and external scrutiny. Even smaller organisations run into trouble if reporting, controls or filings are misunderstood.
Key areas we regularly advise on include:
Choosing the right structure — charity, CIO, association or unincorporated club
Preparing compliant charity accounts — receipts & payments or accruals
Charity accounting standards (SORP) — when they apply
Restricted vs unrestricted funds and how to track them
Independent examination vs audit — knowing what’s required and when
Grant funding reporting and funder compliance
Payroll and expenses for staff and volunteers
Corporation tax and VAT issues for not-for-profits
Annual returns to the Charity Commission
