Our story

Charity Accounting Services was founded with the mission to make life easier for charities. Since we founded over 20 years ago, we have provided charities accounting services and back-office administration.

Our Specialist Charity Finance Director

Charity Accounting Services was founded almost 20 years ago, by our Finance Director, Golam Morshed. Morshed started his career as a frontline finance staff for numerous charities before establishing his own charity-specialised accounting firm.

Charity Accounting Services was set up to consult charities on strategic financial management. Our vast experience in the charity sector has made our team well-equipped to assist your organisation.

How Does it Work?

When you submit an enquiry, we’ll go through the following onboarding steps:

We set up a meeting, whether in-person or online, to understand your accounting and organisational context. In this meeting, we will identify document flow and revise/develop relevant forms to process accounting information.
You will send us documents regularly, either on a weekly or monthly basis, which we will secure on a cloud server. Processing your documents will take around two days.
We will send Management Accounts alongside other relevant information, for example, an updated copy of the full ledger or payslips, within the 5th day of the next month.
We will also have regular meetings with you based on a pre-determined timescale. You can contact us any time for clarification for any internal financial or outsourcing concerns.

What accounting technology do you use?

We use the latest softwares like QuickBooks, XERO, SAGE and others. You do not need to invest in buying and purchasing software as well as relevant hardware.

Do you still offer services if we already have accounting team and/or staff?

In situations where you already have in-house accounting staff, we will simply fill in the gaps and provide services or advice in areas where in-house skills and availability of staff are not adequate. In a few situations, we act as a sounding board for the chief executive.

What kind of charities do you offer your services to?

We help charities of all sizes.

From our experience, smaller charities struggle to get effective and relevant accounting services. For these charities, investing in training and accounting technologies is difficult, so our services will help these save costs and time.

Can you work out of our own office?

Charity Accounting Services offers cloud-based accounting services, so we mostly operate remotely or at our premises. In the case where you require services to be carried out at your office, we can arrange that at a higher cost than our regular services.

How often do you keep in contact with clients?

Each organisation have different needs, so we plan our regular meetings and timescales in line with your individual needs. In these meetings, we review our services, their impact on your organisation and any improvements we can make to our strategy.

You can contact us at any time in our working hours.

What is your notice period for cancellation?

Our notice period for cancellation is three months to ensure a smooth handover

You can contact us at any time in our working hours.

If I am not satisfied with your services, what can I do?

If you are unsatisfied with our services, you can cancel our partnership.

In the first two months, you can cancel without notice. We guarantee not only to make a full refund of your two-month fee, but we will also pay you an additional one-month fee as our goodwill. After two months, you can cancel our services with two months notice.
