Finance & accountancy

Sound finances let an organisation do everything else, and in the cultural and charity world they come with their own rules, funders and reporting quirks. We provide finance and accountancy support built for this sector.

Who this is for

Charities and cultural organisations that need finance support without a full-time finance team: reliable management accounts, help with reporting, better financial controls, or a qualified pair of hands for a busy stretch.

Boards that feel they are governing on shaky financial information will find this especially useful.

At a glance

  • Management accounts that tell you something
  • Budgets and cash-flow forecasts
  • Reporting to your board and funders
  • Financial controls that keep money safe

How we help

Our finance support is led by a CIMA-qualified accountant with more than 20 years’ experience across the commercial and charity sectors. We help with management accounts, budgeting and cash flow, reporting to your board and funders, and the controls that keep the money safe.

We understand charity finance, including restricted and unrestricted funds, funder reporting and the expectations that come with charitable status. We fill the gap you have rather than selling you a package you do not need.

You get finance you can rely on and a board that can see clearly.

Why ProArtsPlus

Bringing finance together with our legal and governance work means joined-up advice. When money, governance and law all touch a decision, which they usually do, we can see the whole of it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide ongoing finance support or one-off help?

Both. We can provide regular management accounts and reporting, or step in for a specific need or a busy period.

Do you understand charity finance specifically?

Yes. Our finance lead has extensive charity-sector experience, so restricted funds, funder reporting and the expectations of charitable status are familiar ground.

Can you help our board understand its finances?

Yes. We turn the numbers into information a board can govern with, rather than a spreadsheet nobody reads.

Can finance and legal support come from the same place?

Yes, and that is part of the point: advice that sees the whole picture when money, governance and law overlap.
