Community Accountancy Services

Supporting charities, voluntary sector groups and charitable companies etc, by offering our extensive experience so that more funds can be invested in their projects, services and the support which they provide.  We want groups to thrive and expand, but also remain compliant with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, their guidelines and statutory requirements, if achieving charitable status.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

Quality community accountancy services. There is ongoing advice inclusive here, for what you need to do for compliancy. Plus help around financial management. Brought to you by your local Community Accountants.

ACCOUNTS PREPARATION

We are very approachable and affordable, particularly to small groups, larger voluntary groups, newly registered charities and now also commercial enterprises.

PAYROLL

We can also provide you with payroll services, which includes all elements of payroll processing, paying staff direct & dealing with statutory elements to the Inland Revenue including year end returns, P11d's, P60's etc...

BY PAYING LESS FEES THIS MEANS YOU GET TO KEEP MORE OF YOUR MONEY

All groups, voluntary organisations and registered charities are required to produce accounts, providing them not only with up to date financial information, but also to assist them in obtaining further grant funding, as well as complying with their statutory obligations as outlined by both Charity and Company Law.  Here we can offer an affordable method based on the individual needs of the client, therefore making this service affordable to all, without impacting on vital free reserves. Why pay other NI accountants who charge fixed hourly rates, even for advice (ongoing help and advice is free from us when you become a client)

INDEPENDENT EXAMINATIONS

All charities, regardless of legal structure, are now required to have their annual accounts scrutinised by an external person, the level of scrutiny will depend on income of the charity.  If a charity’s governing document contains a requirement that the accounts must be audited, then the governing document must be followed.

You are legally required to have your accounts independently examined and prepared, by someone who is qualified to do so. Many voluntary groups believe that their treasurer, banker or even best friend can do this for them, but it is not the case. The three different types of scrutiny and further information can be seen here:
