Guide to choosing accounting software and digital solutions for UK charities. Find the right tools for your charity's financial management.
The right accounting software can streamline financial management, improve accuracy, and save time. Many solutions are designed specifically for charities and include features for fund accounting.
Consider your charity's size, complexity, and specific needs when choosing software. Look for features like restricted fund tracking, gift aid processing, and Charity Commission reporting.
Cloud-based solutions offer flexibility and automatic backups. Ensure any software you choose meets data protection requirements and provides adequate security.
Choose software that supports fund accounting. This allows tracking of restricted, designated, and endowment funds as required by SORP.
Look for software with Gift Aid tracking and reclaim functionality. This can automate much of the gift aid claims process.
Choose software that produces reports needed for management, trustees, and regulators. Look for Charity Commission report exports.
Consider how many users need access and what permissions they require. Cloud solutions allow multiple users with controlled access.
