We understand the specifics

What we know about NPO accounting

Accounting for a non-profit is accounting for targeted money. What matters here isn't "balancing the books" but proving that every tenge of a grant or donation went to its intended purpose. We know the rules and work at the intersection of the tax office's and the donors' requirements.

01

Separate accounting by project

Grants, donations, membership fees and sponsorship are accounted for separately — by each source and project. This makes the movement of targeted funds visible and makes reports easy to compile.

02

Reporting to donors

A grantor wants the report in its own format — by the project's budget lines. We prepare financial reporting so there are no questions and no risk of having to return funds.

03

CIT exemption and form 130.00

Targeted receipts used for their intended purpose are not subject to CIT. We report them separately in the return (form 130.00) so the organization keeps its exemption.

04

Grants in foreign currency

Foreign funding means currency accounting, exchange-rate differences and compliance with disclosure requirements for foreign sources. We handle such transactions correctly and transparently.

05

Statutory and business activity

If an NPO earns income alongside its statutory activity, those are different tax regimes. We separate the flows so business income doesn't "drag" targeted funds along with it.

06

Fees, donations, volunteers

Membership fees, gratuitous receipts, project staff payroll and settlements with contractors — we take on every area of NPO accounting.

Risk zones

Common mistakes in NPO accounting — and how we close them

For an NPO the cost of a mistake isn't just a tax fine — it's the loss of a grant or of its reputation with a donor. Here is what we fix most often.

Mistake

Targeted money mixed with income

Grants and donations aren't separated from business revenue — the tax office removes the exemption and assesses additional CIT.

How we do it

Clean separation of flows

We keep statutory and business activity separate. Targeted funds stay non-taxable and the exemption is preserved.

Mistake

The donor report "doesn't add up"

Grant expenses aren't tied to the project's budget lines — the donor rejects the report and demands the funds back.

How we do it

Accounting to the project budget

We tie expenses to the grant's budget lines from the very start. The donor report is built straight from the books and reconciles to the penny.

Mistake

Foreign funding without meeting the requirements

Funds from abroad are received without proper disclosure or currency accounting — a risk of claims from the authorities.

How we do it

Correct currency accounting

We handle currency transactions and exchange-rate differences and meet disclosure requirements for foreign sources — the organization stays transparent.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

If you didn't find your answer — message us on WhatsApp.

The key thing in NPO accounting is separate accounting of targeted funding: grants, donations, membership fees and sponsorship. Each source and project is accounted for separately so you can prove the money was spent strictly for its intended purpose. Statutory (non-profit) and business activities are accounted for separately — this affects taxes.

Targeted receipts used for their intended purpose are not subject to CIT. But income from business activity is taxed on general terms. An NPO files a CIT return (form 130.00) in which targeted funds are shown separately. We keep separate records so the organization doesn't lose its tax exemption or face additional assessments.

For each grant we keep separate accounting of income and expenses by the project's budget lines and prepare financial reports in the format the grantor requires. For grants in foreign currency we handle currency accounting and exchange-rate differences. This removes the risk of having to return funds to the donor due to misuse or reporting errors.

Receiving funds from foreign sources requires special attention: separate accounting, currency transactions and compliance with disclosure requirements for foreign funding. We set up the accounting so the organization meets all the requirements and stays transparent for the authorities and donors.

We serve public associations, public and private foundations, private institutions, associations and unions of legal entities, and other non-profit organizations. We'll account for the specifics of your form and your funding sources.

Yes. Our financial liability is fixed in the contract. If an error is made through our fault, we compensate the damage caused, within the liability set out in the contract.

The cost depends on the number of projects and funding sources, whether there is business activity, the number of employees, currency transactions and the overall volume of documents. After a short discussion we'll offer a rate with no hidden extras.
