Beyond Accounts

Specialist charity accountants and independent examiners

Charity accounts aren’t ordinary business accounts. Restricted funds, SORP reporting, and regulator scrutiny demand specialist knowledge — and years of experience mean we can carry your compliance load with confidence.

Open hands holding a knotted heart above balanced scales

Accounting built for charities

Dealing with restricted and unrestricted funds adds a layer of financial reporting and disclosure that ordinary financial statements never touch. Your priorities are different from a commercial business — and transparent reporting matters, to your trustees, your funders, and the public.

Our charity work is led by our founder, Sadia Ali FCCA — 20+ years in accountancy, 10+ of them in audit, specialising in charity audits, independent examinations, and OSCR reporting. So you can be confident you’re dealing with accountants who understand the compliance and accounting regulations around your charity’s financial reporting — and who’ll help you meet your obligations without drama.

How we help

Independent examinations

A proportionate, properly conducted examination when a full audit isn’t required.

Charity audits

Statutory audits by ACCA-registered auditors who work with charities all year round, not once a year.

Accounts preparation

Fund-accounted, SORP-compliant annual accounts that stand up to regulator and funder scrutiny.

Trustee support

Plain-English guidance on reporting duties, reserves, and what the numbers mean for your board.

Scottish charities, Scottish rules

Charities registered in Scotland answer to OSCR, the Scottish Charity Regulator, under accounting rules that differ from those in England and Wales. Whether your charity needs receipts-and-payments accounts, fully accrued accounts, an independent examination, or a statutory audit depends on its size, structure, and constitution.

As a Glasgow firm working with Scottish charities, this is home ground for us. We’ll confirm exactly what your charity needs to file — and make sure nothing more expensive than necessary is done to get you there.
