Charity finance manager with 20 years experience. I specialise in working with small charities, including those with trading arms or more complex structures. I work at board level as well as with staff to sort out all kinds of real-world organisational and financial issues. Happy to install systems, advise on how to manage grant reporting and budgeting, and deal with one-off situations. Years of experience with Quickbooks systems, including set-up from scratch. Also have HR experience and am IT literate. Guaranteed to talk to you in real English, not accountant-speak!

Ursula assisted us with reviewing our existing financial system and made some recommendations for improvements. It was very useful to get her opinion.

Ursula took our brief and produced an article which not only dealt with the content we wanted but also fitted the style we were looking for. And she turned both the article and amendments around very promptly.
