At CWABC, we understand that CICs operate differently from private businesses — with reporting, funding, and mission impact all playing a part. We offer tailored support to help you stay compliant, secure grants, and keep your financial systems in shape.

What’s Included

Our CIC accounting packages typically include:

  • Year-End Accounts & CT600 Filing
    Statutory accounts and Corporation Tax returns prepared in line with CIC obligations.
  • Companies House Confirmation Statement
    Annual filing to keep your CIC legally compliant.
  • Bookkeeping & Reporting
    Ongoing support to track income, donations, and project costs clearly — using Xero, FreeAgent, or QuickBooks.
  • MTD & VAT Compliance
    If your CIC is VAT registered, we’ll manage submissions and keep you compliant with Making Tax Digital.
  • Payroll & Subcontractor Payments
    Fully managed payroll and CIS, including pensions and director payroll.
  • Funding-Ready Financials
    Help preparing cash flow forecasts, reports, and accounts suitable for funding applications and board review.
