Not-for-Profit Accounting Services

Accounting, bookkeeping, compliance and reporting services built specifically for not-for-profit organisations across Australia.

Expert Financial Support For The Not-For-Profit Sector

Running a not-for-profit comes with a unique set of financial responsibilities. You are accountable to your donors, your board, your beneficiaries, and the regulators, all at the same time. Grant funding needs to be tracked separately. Donor reports need to be accurate and easy to read. And your organisation needs to stay compliant with ACNC requirements and any relevant tax obligations, even if you are income-tax exempt. Getting all of that right while still focusing on the work you actually care about is a big ask.

At HelloLedger, we understand the pressures that not-for-profit leaders face. We have experience working with NFPs of different sizes, from small community groups to established charities, and we know how to manage the financial side in a way that supports your mission rather than distracts from it. We handle the day-to-day bookkeeping, keep your compliance on track, and give your committee or board clear, useful financial reports so everyone can see exactly where things stand.

WHAT WE DO FOR YOUR ORGANISATION

Not-for-profit accounting is not just a scaled-down version of business accounting. It has its own rules, its own reporting requirements, and its own priorities. Grant funding needs to be tracked against specific conditions. Financial statements need to meet the expectations of donors, regulators, and your own governance requirements. And unlike a for-profit business, the goal is not profit. It is making every dollar go as far as possible toward your mission. At HelloLedger, we manage your bookkeeping and accounting with all of that in mind. We reconcile your accounts, prepare your financial statements, lodge your BAS, and make sure your organisation is meeting its obligations under the ACNC and relevant state requirements.

We also help you with the forward-looking side of things. Budgeting for the year ahead, forecasting your cash flow, and making sure your organisation is financially sustainable over the long term. If your funding situation changes or you take on a new grant, we adjust with you. And when it comes to reporting to your donors and stakeholders, we help you produce clear, honest reports that show exactly how their contributions are being used. It is the kind of financial support that helps your organisation build trust and keep doing good work. at your books and tells you the truth. That is what HelloLedger business advisory is about.

  • Donors or funders asking questions you cannot easily answer

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We work with NFPs of different sizes and types, from small community groups to larger registered charities. We understand the specific accounting, compliance, and reporting requirements that come with running an NFP in Australia.

Absolutely. We regularly help organisations make this transition. We will work with whoever currently manages the books to get everything properly set up and take over from there. It does not need to be complicated.

The ACNC (Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission) requires registered charities to submit an Annual Information Statement each year, with larger charities also requiring financial reports. We stay across these requirements and manage the process for you.

We set up separate tracking for each grant so that income and expenditure can be clearly reported back to each funder. This makes grant acquittals straightforward and accurate.

It depends on your structure and registration. Many NFPs are income-tax exempt but still have GST and BAS obligations. Some also qualify for additional tax concessions. We will review your specific situation and make sure you are only paying what you need to.

We offer fixed pricing based on the size and complexity of your organisation. We understand that budgets are tight in the NFP sector and we work to make sure our fees are reasonable and clear. Book a free chat and we will give you a straight quote.
