As the Trustee of a charity, you will likely have reasons as to why you feel particularly frustrated about your accounts, or you may be aware of tasks that you are unable to complete without help.

Little experience of charity accounting

Accounting is complex, full stop. This is especially true if you’ve little to no experience in running or filing accounts before you filled your current role as Trustee of a charity or not-for-profit. If the various pieces of paperwork and multitude of spreadsheets are making your head spin – you’re not the only one! This is a valid reason why many Trustees choose to outsource their accounting to us.

Lack of interest in accounting

Being confused about your accounts is one thing, but what if you are simply disinterested and would rather dedicate your time elsewhere? Having a lack of interest in your accounts is another valid reason to outsource them – especially to a firm that enjoys doing it (imagine!).

HMRC who?

HMRC is an important body and they are involved in every aspect of your accounting. Not only does HMRC like information to be submitted fully and on time – but it demands your accounts to be done correctly and with best practises in mind. Therefore, you must know who HMRC are and how they work. Chartered accountants and their firms have grown up with HMRC – many of them have decades of experience in communicating with their teams and submitting correct and succinct accounts on time.

Too busy for best practise

Best practise and compliance is incredibly important in accounting – especially in the niche world of charity and not-for-profits. As a Trustee of a charity or NFP, chances are, you’ll know all about compliance and doing what’s right for your charity, its volunteers, and those who donate. But perhaps you’re too busy to rake through your documents and processes with a fine-tooth comb? This is another valid reason to outsource your accounts to a firm or chartered accountant of your choice.
