Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant for charities do?
An accountant for charities prepares annual accounts, manages fund accounting, and ensures compliance with charity regulations. They handle Gift Aid claims, VAT, and Corporation Tax where applicable. They also advise on reserves, budgets, and independent examinations. Many are ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualified and understand HMRC requirements for not-for-profit organisations.
Why should a charity use a qualified accountant?
Qualified accountants such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT members have proven technical skills and follow strict ethical standards. They help charities avoid HMRC penalties, file accurate tax returns, and maintain transparent records. Their expertise supports trustees in meeting legal duties and gives donors confidence that funds are managed properly.

What tax issues do charities face?
Charities may need to manage VAT, Gift Aid, and Corporation Tax on trading income. HMRC requires accurate tax returns and records. An accountant can advise on exemptions, reliefs, and deadlines. They also help with Self Assessment for trustees or employees where required, reducing the risk of errors or penalties.
Can an accountant help with Gift Aid claims?
Yes. A qualified accountant can ensure your charity claims Gift Aid correctly, keeps adequate records, and submits claims to HMRC on time. They check donor eligibility and help avoid common mistakes that can delay repayments or trigger compliance checks, allowing your charity to maximise income from donations.
