Other charity and accounting Services

Other Services

We can offer a wide range of other services. Amongst these are:

SAGE services
With over nine years' experience of Sage computerised accounts packages, including Instant Accounts and Line50, Caritas Accountancy Services can offer the following services:

Advice and guidance on which package suits your needs
Purchase of the package of your choice, including upgrades
Installation and initial set up of nominal ledger, customer and supplier accounts etc.
Appropriate training including the production of reports
Book keeping facilities, including on the client's premises
Advice and guidance on complementary packages eg. BudgetMaster

VAT Services
VAT can be a very complex and misunderstood area for charities.
Caritas Accountancy Services have extensive experience of preparing complex VAT calculations for charities, dealing with business/non-business and partial exemption, as well as meeting with representatives of HM Customs and Excise to discuss this extremely difficult area.

Corporation Tax
Many charities are unaware that they may face potential exposure to corporation tax where trading has taken place.
Caritas Accountancy Services understand the rules and regulations relating to this and can advise accordingly, including corresponding with the tax bodies when relevant.

Accountancy Services
Caritas Accountancy Services are well placed to provide a whole variety of ad-hoc consultancy services, including help and advice on business plans, cash-flow forecasts, system reviews, selection and implementation of accounting systems.

Grant applications and claims
Caritas Accountancy Servies also help charities and not-for-profit organisations with grant applications and claims, including those made under the extremely complicated European Structural Fund programme.

Linked to this, we have access to a large database of charitable trusts and are able to help organisations find possible funders.

The Charity Act that has just been passed increases the audit threshold to £500,000. This will result in a substantial increase to the number of charities that require an independent examination by an appropriately qualified independent examiner. Be ready! Contact Caritas! More....
