Grant reports for CICs

Your funder wants a spend report by Friday. Can your accountant write it?

You email your accountant on Monday, chase on Wednesday, and write the spreadsheet yourself on Thursday night.

A late or thin report puts the next grant at risk, and the funder remembers it at the next bid.

Or read on to see how it works.

How the grant report goes when nobody owns it.

  1. Funder asks for figures
  2. Nobody has the breakdown
  3. Restricted funds guessed at
  4. Report goes in late
  5. Funder comes back
  6. Next bid weakened

Nobody at the CIC was hired to write funder reports, so it lands on a director.

The figures already exist in your bookkeeping. They need pulling out in the shape the funder asked for.

Questions your directors cannot answer before the next funder meeting.

These are the ones that come up every quarter.

  • How much of the grant have we actually spent?
  • Which costs sit against restricted funds?
  • Are we on budget for the next six months?
  • When is the community interest report due?
  • Can the accounts be ready before the bid closes?

Every answer lives in your bookkeeping, and none of it is pulled together.

What happens when we write the funder reports for you.

We keep the bookkeeping current, so the funder’s figures are already there when they ask.

We write the quarterly and six-monthly spend, budget and forecast reports and send them to you to sign off.

We also introduce CIC clients to a fundraising consultant who helps find the next grant.

    Reports your funder can use

Who we can help with grant reports, and who we cannot.

We would rather tell you straight at the first conversation.

  • You are a CIC or grant-funded organisation in South Wales or Bristol.
  • A funder wants quarterly or six-monthly spend, budget and forecast reports.
  • You need annual CIC accounts and the community interest report filed on time.
  • You want the accounts ready early for the next bid deadline.
  • You want a fixed fee agreed before we start and calls that cost nothing.

No, that is not us

  • You are a registered charity rather than a community interest company.
  • You are a CIS construction subcontractor.
  • You are already late in an HMRC investigation.
  • You want a one-off Self Assessment return with nothing ongoing.
