Frequently Asked Questions
Do not-for-profits need a specialist accountant?
Not always legally — but the financial reporting requirements for charities and not-for-profits are quite different from standard business accounts. Getting specialist support means your accounts meet Charity Commission requirements, your funds are reported correctly, and your trustees are protected.
What are our trustees' financial responsibilities?
Trustees are legally responsible for the financial management of the organisation, including ensuring accounts are prepared and filed on time, funds are used in line with the charity’s purposes, and proper controls are in place. We help trustees understand and meet those obligations without it becoming a burden.
Can you help us claim Gift Aid?
Yes. We manage Gift Aid claims on your behalf, making sure you are claiming everything you are entitled to and that your records satisfy HMRC requirements. For many charities, this is a significant source of additional income that goes unclaimed simply through lack of time or knowledge.
How does VAT work for charities and not-for-profits?
VAT for charities is more complex than for standard businesses, with a range of reliefs and exemptions that apply depending on your activities and income streams. We assess what applies to your organisation and make sure you are not paying more VAT than you need to.
What reporting do we need to submit to the Charity Commission?
The requirements depend on your income level. Smaller charities submit a short annual return, while those over certain thresholds need full accruals accounts and an independent examination or audit. We handle the preparation and submission so nothing is missed and deadlines are met.
