Case

CASE is a new social enterprise funded by the Big lottery. It will specialise in providing back office accountancy services to charities and community organisations. CASE will work primarily with groups who have turnovers between £10,000 and £500,000 with the aim to provide a service of satisfactory quality at a price which not for profit organisations and funders are willing to pay.

Good financial administration helps organisations to be more efficient, cost effective and keeps the funders happy so the organisation has continuity.

Proper cashflow forecasting means funding applications can be done on time and services can be maintained without gaps in funding. More information on the website.
