Milton Keynes 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.

Plain English. Fixed fees. Charity-aware advice. No unnecessary complexity.

Running a Not-for-Profit Comes With Rules Most Businesses Never Face

Not-for-Profit Accounting 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
  • Gift Aid claims — maximise recovery and stay compliant
  • Trustee responsibilities and financial oversight
  • 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

And other compliance and reporting issues that vary depending on size, income and activities — without over-engineering systems you don’t need.

Organisations That Need Clear, Practical Charity Accounting

Not-for-profit doesn’t mean simple — but it also doesn’t need to be overcomplicated. We work with organisations at every stage, from volunteer-run groups to established charities with staff and premises.

We can support:

  • Small community clubs and societies
  • Sports clubs and membership organisations
  • Local charities and CICs
  • Churches and faith-based groups
  • Arts, culture and heritage organisations
  • Grant-funded projects and associations
  • Resident and neighbourhood associations
  • PTAs and school-linked associations
  • Larger registered charities with trustees and employees

Whether you’re managing a modest bank account or multiple funding streams, we adapt the level of support to suit your organisation — keeping you compliant, transparent and in control, without unnecessary cost or complexity.

ICAEW Regulated

Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales
Milton Keynes Chartered Accountants
Founded: 2014
Protection: £10m Indemnity Cover

Why ICAEW Regulation Matters

Here’s The Uncomfortable Truth:

In the UK, anyone can wake up tomorrow, print a business card, and call themselves an “accountant.”

  • No guaranteed training
  • No guaranteed regulation
  • No guaranteed insurance
  • No built-in consequences

We’re Different.

We’re Chartered Accountants — regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW), one of the most respected professional bodies in the world.

Why Does That Matter To You?

Because when it comes to your tax, your business, and your financial future, the person you choose is the difference between peace of mind and potential disaster.

You can verify our membership in the:
Official ICAEW Directory of Chartered Accountants

Here’s What This Means To You

  • Recognised by Mortgage Lenders. Many lenders require references from qualified accountants. Our credentials tick that box.
  • Dealing with HMRC is easier when your accountant is properly qualified, regulated, and supervised — exactly what ICAEW membership guarantees.
  • Mandatory Professional Indemnity Insurance. If something ever goes wrong, you’re protected. Full stop.
  • Rigorous, Top-Tier Qualifications. We’ve completed years of training, exams, and practical experience before earning the letters after our name.
  • Independent Quality Checks. We are subject to  ICAEW practice reviews and regulatory oversight.
  • Right of Complaint. If you ever have an issue (rare, but possible), you have access to an independent process through the ICAEW — not just “take our word for it.”
  • Independent AML Regulation. The ICAEW, not HMRC, oversees our money-laundering compliance—an independent professional body.

Bottom Line

When you choose a Chartered Accountant, you’re choosing someone who is regulated, insured, qualified, independently monitored, and held to the highest ethical standards in the profession.

Why gamble your business on someone who isn’t?
