Finance support from a team that understands charities
We wanted reliable finance support from people who understand the charity sector and the way organisations like ours work.
Since 2022, Beyond Profit has looked after our finance function, providing everything from day-to-day bookkeeping and payroll through to management accounts and statutory accounts. Just as importantly, they are helpful, responsive and easy to work with, and we know we can rely on them when we need support.

The finance support we needed
Before working with Beyond Profit, we already had bookkeeping support, but we needed more than that. We wanted a team that could take care of our wider accounting and reporting requirements and give us the level of support our charity needed.
Beyond Profit now supports us with bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, supplier payments and statutory accounts.
We prepare our budgets, while Beyond Profit takes care of the ongoing accounting and reporting around our financial activity.
Having everything supported by one team makes things straightforward for us. We know the work will be dealt with accurately and on time, and if we have a question or need help with something, the team is there to support us.
People who understand the charity sector
One of the things we value most about Beyond Profit is their knowledge of charity accounting.
It makes a real difference working with people who understand the sector and know our organisation. We don’t have to explain everything from the beginning each time we need support – the team knows us, understands what we need and is always willing to help.
They are friendly and approachable, respond when we need them and make sure things get done. Nothing feels like too much trouble, and we know they will go the extra mile when we need them to.
As Julie Thorpe, Centre Manager and CEO, says:
“Beyond Profit are extremely knowledgeable on accountancy in the charity sector. Their service is helpful, timely, accurate, and always the highest quality. The team at BP are a pleasure to work with – nothing is too much trouble. They know their clients and go the extra mile to meet their needs.”
For us, Beyond Profit is a finance team we can rely on. They understand charities, they understand us, and they provide a consistently helpful and high-quality service. It gives us confidence that our finances are being looked after properly by people who are there when we need them.
