Welcome to Charity Finance Office, your dedicated partner in navigating the complexities of charity accounting. Founded in 2018 by Adam Finkel-Gates, a seasoned Accounting Technician and Chartered Global Management Accountant, we emerged from a simple yet profound realization: charities across Scotland were paying exorbitant fees for essential accounting services. Driven by a commitment to support the invaluable work of charities, we offer expert, professional accounting services at non-commercial prices, ensuring more of your funds are directed towards achieving your charitable aims.
Our Mission
At Charity Finance Office, our mission is to empower Scottish charities with the knowledge and tools they need to understand their accounting function better. We believe in providing compliance services that are not only essential but also fairly priced, ensuring that your charity can focus on what truly matters – delivering on your charitable objectives.
Our Services
Specializing in independent examinations, our core offerings also include comprehensive payroll services and innovative bookkeeping software tailored for charities. This software not only facilitates the production of annual returns and quarterly budgeting but is designed to support all areas of accounting. Our goal is to provide you with the necessary services to ensure compliance without compromising your budget.
Our Expertise
Led by Adam Finkel-Gates, our team brings unparalleled expertise to the charity sector. With a background that spans across all areas of accounting and taxation, Adam’s journey from working in a local accounting firm to founding Charity Finance Office was fuelled by a moral obligation to prevent charities from being overcharged. As a testament to our expertise, we are proud to hold accreditations as Accounting Technicians and Chartered Global Management Accountants.
Our Commitment to the Community
Serving small charities throughout Scotland, we go beyond just accounting services. We offer a free MS Excel based accounting spreadsheet, designed specifically for charities with Receipts and Payments accounts. This tool aids in budgeting, quarterly trustee reporting, and the preparation of annual accounts for your annual report. Furthermore, in partnership with Inspiring Scotland, we provide free training on how to utilize this spreadsheet effectively, ensuring you’re well-equipped to manage your finances with confidence.
