A Day in the Life
Working with charities or non‑profits at Carston ETL means every week — sometimes every day — can look a little different. One moment you might be preparing a set of accounts for submission to the regulator, the next you’re helping a small charity set up bookkeeping systems or giving advice on Gift Aid claims.
You could be liaising with trustees to help them understand financial health, preparing management accounts for a grant‑making body, or supporting a newly formed community group with payroll and compliance. Often it's about balancing accuracy, transparency, and empathy — understanding that behind every number, there’s a mission, beneficiaries, and people relying on the charity’s work.
Roles in the Charity & Not‑For‑Profit Team
Depending on the size of the charity or non‑profit, and the services required, the team at Carston ETL supporting this sector may include roles such as:
Charity Accountant
Prepares statutory accounts, handles bookkeeping, ensures compliance with charity accounting standards, liaises with trustees, and handles VAT / Gift Aid issues.
Audit & Compliance Partner
Oversees audits or independent examinations, assesses governance and internal control frameworks, ensures regulatory compliance, and supports audit‑ready reporting
Payroll & Payroll‑Compliance Specialist
Handles payroll services for charities employing staff, ensures RTI, auto‑enrolment (pensions), payroll compliance, and liaises with relevant authorities or pension providers
Not‑for‑Profit Advisory & Finance‑Support Consultant
Helps with budgeting, cash‑flow planning, fund/grant tracking, financial forecasting, donor/funder reporting, and strategic finance advice to help the organisation grow sustainably.
Client Relations & Trustee Liaison
Acts as a bridge between Carston ETL and the charity’s leadership/trustees, helping explain financials simply, supporting governance questions, and offering ongoing advice.
