TaxCalc + Charities & Non-Profits: Faster Bank Import
Charities need accurate financial records for trustees, donors, and the Charity Commission — but often rely on volunteers without accounting expertise. If you use TaxCalc for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Charities & Non-Profits Using TaxCalc
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into TaxCalc. Make bank statement reconciliation simple for volunteer treasurers. Upload statements, get clean spreadsheets for your financial reports.
The Charities & Non-Profits + TaxCalc Workflow
Charity treasurers collect bank statements monthly, reconcile them against donation records and grant income, allocate expenditure to restricted and unrestricted funds, and prepare reports for trustee meetings. Annual accounts must be filed with the Charity Commission, requiring a full year of reconciled bank data.
Key terms you'll encounter: restricted funds, unrestricted funds, fund accounting, Charity SORP.
