The new service is designed to help trustees fulfil their governance’s responsibilities in relation to:
- keeping proper accounting records
- and preparing compliant statement of accounts, through the use of an innovative online platform (Xero) which links your accounting records to your digital bank account(s).
The service will not only facilitate effective and efficient recording of all your organisation’s accounting transactions in a timely manner, it will also make the year-end independent examination process much easier and more efficient.
We have structured the service around our clients’ needs and the service provides a highly professional service at relatively low cost as well as being:
- user-friendly.
- secure.
- environmentally friendly by reducing paper and printing use.
Our professional team is also available to help with the initial set-up and onward training. Additional services, such as payroll, can also be added as required.
We will provide independent examinations either as part of the new digital community accounting service, or as a stand-alone service for fully-prepared accounts only.
