Does your Church or Charity use Expense Plus?
For a number of years we have worked closely with the cloud based accounting package Expense Plus. Its safe to say we are big fans of Expense Plus and the service they provide to Churches and Charities. Having used the system in house for many years with a number of our outsource clients we have built a detailed experience of the system and a close working relationship with the Expense Plus team.
​
We provide tailored accounts preparation, independent examination and outsource finance services for organizations whom use Expense Plus.
​
​
Accounts Preparation and Independent Examinations
We provide accounts preparation and independent examination services for charities reporting under the Charities SORP or under Cashing Accounting.
​
We work with a growing number of Churches and Charities from across the UK, ranging from small newly registered charity's through to larger organizations operating at around the £1m mark.
Our aim is to provide an efficient, transparent and value added service to all of our charity clients.
​
As part of our service we provide a yearly Findings, Feedback and Recommendations report with our examinations. This stems from our passion to help our charity clients develop and improve their financial governance.
Church and Charity Finance Outsourcing
We provide a range of outsourced accounting support for Churches and Charities drawing from our many years of experience in this area of work.
​
Our services consist of regular book keeping support, internal management reporting, gift aid management and much more.
​
We aim to help you as an organization understand what level and balance of outsourcing support you require.
