For charities and their advisers
Keep every fund, grant and donation understandable.
Rian adds charity context without separating it from the underlying double-entry books and evidence trail.
Charity bookkeeping for restricted funds, grant conditions, donations, evidence and year-end working schedules.
Common challenges
- Restricted and unrestricted activity is reconstructed after the fact.
- Grant conditions live apart from the spending records.
- Trustees receive totals without a clear route back to the source.
What changes with Rian Books
Purpose stays visible
Track balances by fund and keep the purpose behind restricted money explicit.
Grant review stays practical
Connect awards, conditions, spend-by dates and supporting entries in one work list.
Year end has a trail
Prepare schedules and evidence for an authorised accountant or independent examiner.
How the workflow runs
- Set up the charity and its funds
- Record grants and donations
- Attach evidence to spending
- Prepare year-end schedules for review
