Expert charity, digital accountancy and board level support to specialist Kent and Medway based charity, bemix.

Initially providing mentoring support to full maternity leave cover and everything (almost) in between, we’ve worked with the team at bemix since May 2023

I admire Jim for his sense of what it means for an organisation to thrive and practice kindness, combined with his rigour and sharp eye for detail. It's been transformational.

A complex challenge

Jim’s finance and charity expertise was initially sought out to provide support to the bemix finance team.

Jim has worked closely with the CEO, leadership and finance team to navigate lots of change and challenges in a short period of time.

Transformational support

Individually each of these are significant but for now here’s some bullet points of the areas we have supported with over the last 18 months:

  • Conversion of accounting system to from Quickbooks to Xero, Hubdoc & Syft Analytics
  • Presenting finance updates and Board and Governing Team meetings
  • Navigating transition from CIC (Community Interest Company) to CIO (Charity)
  • Hiring and supporting new finance team
  • Preparation of management accounts and cash flow forecasts to support renegotiated borrowing terms
  • Supporting audit tender process
  • Supporting exec team with successful tender for new project (see more here)
  • Advising on charity tax and reporting requirements
  • Drafted new Standing Financial Instructions documentation for finance team

 

We are looking forward to seeing bemix continue to flourish as their programmes develop in the future.
