OUTSOURCED BOOKKEEPING
Save your organisation time and money by outsourcing your bookkeeping to us via the ExpensePlus cloud accounting software.
I’m Pete Marfleet. My business helps charities streamline their finances.
We provide cost-effective, outsourced bookkeeping services to charities, churches and non-profits, along with advice, support and training packages for organisations seeking to upgrade their accounting processes.
Save your organisation time and money by outsourcing your bookkeeping to us via the ExpensePlus cloud accounting software.
Receive custom setup and support for your team when transitioning to the ExpensePlus cloud accounting system.
Whether your charity is big or small, ExpensePlus' cloud-based fund accounting software can save you time and money. As a verified ExpensePlus bookkeeper and consultant business, our services require your organisation to either already be using ExpensePlus or be willing to migrate to their system, which we can help you with. We are not part of ExpensePlus, but have extensive user experience with their product. We enjoy a great working relationship with their team and strongly support the excellent work they do in helping churches and charities manage their finances.
I have worked in the charity sector as a finance officer for almost a decade, gaining extensive experience in fund accounting and charity finance regulations as a result. I have also served on a leadership team of a church for over 8 years, so I understand the unique challenges of managing medium sized charity accounts, often with only a small or volunteer team.
Over the years that I’ve worked in this sector, it’s been clear that many third sector organisations grow to a point where they are too large to run their own finances off a spreadsheet anymore, but still way too small to be able to justify a staffed finance team with the relevant experience. For some, they find a volunteer who has both the experience and time to give to them, an ideal but increasingly rare solution.
For those without that option, I'm pleased to be able to offer charities a cost effective alternative to in-house finance experts.
Esther joined the team in the Autumn of 2024. With a background as a qualified maths teacher, she is not only great with numbers and knows her way around ExpensePlus, but also understands the charity sector because she still works in it. Esther is a part-time member of staff, focusing primarily on delivering expert bookkeeping support to our clients. As one of Esther's references told me, “her exemplary character, unwavering honesty, and exceptional professionalism make her ideal for roles involving confidential data and charity finances. Her strong ethical standards ensure that sensitive information is handled with the utmost care, while her financial skills consistently contribute to effective financial operations.” It’s great to have Esther as part of the team here.
I would highly recommend PD Marfleet accounting. Not only is he super helpful and patient, but he is also highly skilled in ExpensePlus and understands working with charities. He moved all our accounts onto ExpensePlus and set everything up so that it was easy to use. He also trained us in how to use the new system so that we could capture our information. He manages our monthly accounts in such a way that has saved myself and the team so much time and it makes our annual review with the accountants and auditors a breeze! Over all the years I have worked in the charity sector I have never found managing the financial side as easy as Pete has made it!
We have been delighted at the work Pete has done for us. He made the move to using a new accounting system (ExpensePlus) very straightforward and has helped us at every stage. I highly recommend PD Marfleet Accounting for all your charity bookkeeping needs!
Pete's been super helpful and supportive whilst we volunteers at church have been getting to grips with ExpensePlus. Because our Treasurer passed away so suddenly, it's been a real challenge to get a team together and move to an online accounting system, but Pete helped assimilate all our previous year's data with his Migration Package. I've found him super-speedy with responding to my email queries - I mean, in minutes, often! So glad that we've opted for his SupportPlus Package where he'll continue to be on hand for as long as we need. Plus, he'll do a weekly check-up to make sure everything's still looking ok on ExpensePlus. Perfect!!
Pete has been such a fantastic support as we have transitioned onto ExpensePlus and he has taken on our bookkeeping. We have the Migration & BookkeegingPlus Packages and I can honestly say, we would be tearing our hair out without Pete. He has taken the time to thoroughly understand how we operate and to ensure that he supports the whole team as we learn this new system. He is hugely encouraging, very patient and a pleasure to work with in addition to being very knowledgeable. I wish we had taken on Pete years ago.
I'm the CEO of a UK based Charity operating across multiple nations. Pete has been amazing this year at reshaping and updating our accounting practices making them fit for purpose. I totally recommend both his skill and his integrity!
Pete Marfleet has been great to work with. He did an excellent and thorough review of our bookkeeping and policies, as a charity needing to keep our procedures on track with our growth. He clearly has an excellent understanding of charity accounting with the added bonus of expertise in ExpensePlus, the specific package we use. He has given us both assurance about our financial management and some good suggestions for improvement. He combined direct and clear communication, timeliness and keeping us informed, with enthusiasm, friendliness, and the willingness to help out with small non-contracted bits of advice along the way. I highly recommend his services to anyone running a small to medium charity.
Pete has helped our church get setup on ExpensePlus with very little time before the start of a new financial year. We bought his Migration Package and SupportPlus Package which is great value and has been invaluable. Pete's training is excellent and he's very responsive to support calls. We are now in a much better place with our bookkeeping processes and Pete gently reminds us of things we should be doing that perhaps we weren't! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.
Pete helped us to migrate to Expenses Plus and it made the whole progress incredibly simple and smooth, I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Our church has recently engaged Pete's services in his Migration Package to help us switch accounting software. He seems to be the expert on ExpensePlus. This, added to his expertise in charity accounting in general, has made for the smoothest transition we could have hoped for. The ongoing support he offered in his SupportPlus Package has been invaluable and it’s certainly had a positive impact on our church. I highly recommend PD Marfleet Accounting to any charity!
