How AccountsIQ works for charities

  • Funds

    Restricted funds are tracked on the transaction itself, not in a spreadsheet beside it.

  • Reporting

    SORP and trustee reports come straight from the ledger, not rebuilt every quarter.

  • Cost

    One subscription. No servers, no upgrade fees, no consultants on retainer.

Follow one pound

Every restricted pound keeps its name.

A £25,000 grant arrives. It is for the youth programme in Cork. Only that.

In most systems that restriction lives in a spreadsheet beside the ledger. Or in someone's head.

In AccountsIQ it lives in the transaction. Fund, project, funder and activity, captured once at entry.

So the fund balance, the funder's report and your SoFA all agree. Nobody reconciled anything.

If your month looks like this, you're not alone.

Five things charity finance teams tell us about, every time. Each one is a general ledger being asked to do fund accounting it was never built for.

Hover any card to see what changes

Restricted fund balances are tracked and reported by hand, in a spreadsheet beside the ledger.

What changes: fund is a coding dimension on every transaction, so restricted balances are live and drill back to source documents.

Board packs take days to build and still don't give trustees the visibility they ask for.

What changes: trustee dashboards and SORP-format reports run from the ledger and can be shared read-only, without a full licence.

Finance time goes on moving numbers between files rather than using them to decide anything.

What changes: bank feeds, approvals, invoice capture and recurring income are automated, so month-end is a review, not a rebuild.

Every funder wants a different cut of the same numbers, in their own format.

What changes: report by fund, funder, project or activity from one coded ledger, and save each funder's layout for next time.

Year-end and independent examination mean a scramble through folders, inboxes and old server backups.

What changes: documents sit on the transaction, every change is in the audit trail, and your examiner gets a read-only login instead of a box of files.

The real cost

If finance spends more time evidencing the money than moving the mission, the system is the problem.

None of this is a people problem. It is what a general ledger does when it is asked to be a fund accounting system.

Fund accounting

Every fund, coded at the point of entry.

What charity finance teams ask us

The best fit is a system built for fund accounting rather than a general ledger with funds bolted on. Charities need restricted, unrestricted, designated and endowment funds tracked at transaction level, SORP-compliant reporting, multi-entity consolidation and an audit trail that stands up to independent examination, without ERP cost or complexity. AccountsIQ covers all of these in one cloud platform and is used by over 100 charities, dioceses and membership bodies.

Yes. Income and expenditure are coded to funds and activities as they are entered, so the Statement of Financial Activities and its supporting notes are generated from the ledger rather than rebuilt in a spreadsheet each year. Comparatives, fund movements and restricted balances all come from the same underlying data, so the SoFA agrees with your fund balances by construction.

Fund is one of the coding dimensions applied to a transaction at the point of entry, alongside project, funder, department and activity. Because the restriction is captured on the transaction itself rather than tracked alongside it in a spreadsheet, fund balances are always current and restricted spend can be evidenced back to source documents without a reconciliation exercise.

Yes. Dashboards and reports can be shared read-only, so trustees and board members see live figures without navigating the accounting system or holding a full user licence. OCN London drive their board KPI visuals directly from AccountsIQ through Power BI.

Yes. AccountsIQ has an open API and a library of pre-built integrations covering CRM, donation and fundraising platforms, payroll, expenses and banking. OCN London integrate their learner management system directly with invoicing, which made invoicing ten times faster than on their previous system.

It depends on the number of entities and the state of your existing data, but a typical charity implementation runs across scoping, migration, fund and coding design, training and a parallel month-end. Melbourne Royal went from decision to live across the whole organisation in four months. Implementation is delivered by an in-house UK and Ireland team at a price agreed before the work starts.
