CONFIDENCE

IN YOUR

COMPLIANCE.

Governance & Trustee Oversight

Strong financial governance is central to every charity. We structure reporting to give trustees clear visibility of income, restricted funds and expenditure, supporting confident decision-making throughout the year.

Regulatory Alignment

Charity accounting carries specific reporting and compliance requirements. Our systems and processes are built around Charity Commission expectations, ensuring your records are organised, accurate and review-ready.

Practical, Ongoing Support

From day-to-day bookkeeping to year-end preparation and grant reporting, we provide consistent financial oversight tailored to your charity’s size and funding structure.

Who We Work With

We support registered charities, CIOs and CICs across a range of sizes, from small, volunteer-led organisations to established charities managing multiple funding streams and grant programmes.

If you’re reviewing your financial structure or preparing for your next reporting cycle, we’d be happy to talk through how we can support you.

WHY CHOOSE STRIVE?

With over 20 years of experience in bookkeeping and accounting, we bring structured financial management and regulatory awareness to every charity we support. Our team works to recognised professional standards, with oversight from the IAB, AAT and AML supervisory bodies.

We are certified advisors in Sage, QuickBooks and Xero, enabling us to implement systems that are both compliant and practical. Our focus is always on clarity, governance and long-term financial stability, not just transactional bookkeeping.

Charities choose Strive because we combine technical competence with a clear understanding of trustee accountability and sector-specific reporting requirements.
