Not-for-Profit

Make your not-for-profit more efficient so you can stay focused on your mission.

Achieve your mission with the support of Carbon Group.

Even though your not-for-profit (NFP) organisation isn’t aiming to make heaps of money, you still have goals to achieve and targets to meet—many of which involve keeping costs down to maximise the surplus funds that can be reinvested into the organisation. Achieving this requires careful management of your financials, strategic planning, and streamlined operations—all of which call for a specialist skillset.

Being an NFP means navigating complex compliance requirements, from government reporting to grant acquittals. Are you equipped to handle these processes efficiently? Additionally, your financial systems should work for you, allowing seamless generation of board reports and insights without re-entering data into multiple systems.

At Carbon Group, our financial experts work with you to make running your not-for-profit easy and efficient, leaving you to focus on achieving your mission. As Chartered Tax Accountants, Xero Platinum Partners and MYOB Diamond Partners, you can trust your financials are in expert hands.

Carbon is an integral part of our support network for achieving our organisation’s mission. We continually receive knowledgeable, timely and generous assistance from both the bookkeeping team – in Aimie and Bridie – and the payroll team as we transform from a branch of the organisation Men of The Trees into our own separate not for profit organisation.

Perth City Farm

Carbon has supported our business through a period of transformation, which saw the changing of our name to Trillion Trees (formerly Men of the Trees) and the separation of our branches into new, successful not-for-profit entities. We have been greatly comforted by the support provided by Aimie and the Carbon team in meeting our financial obligations during this time.
