Specialist Services
Our Community Accountancy Service supports groups to manage their money, meet funders’ requirements, and follow recognised good accountancy practice.
Our Salary Administration Service offers a complete payroll service as well as specialist advice and support on a range of payroll-related issues.
Here is what just a few of our customers have to say about our services:
‘Very informative and extremely helpful.’ (Salary Administration Service)
‘An excellent service this year as always.’ (Community Accountancy Project)
‘I can say that VAC support has kept us open and viable as an organisation. It has saved us money (and) meant we have a more user-friendly and affordable service for preparation of our financial report than previously when we had commercial accountants do the work.’ (Community Accountancy Project)
Training
We run regular training on a range of financial topics – such as: good practice in financial management including budget and cash flow management; general book-keeping; employer returns; and statutory entitlements. You can find the latest information on our Finance Training courses here.

Finance Forum
We have set up a free Finance Forum for local Treasurers of voluntary and community organisations or other staff or trustees with financial responsibilities. If you have financial responsibility within your organisation and would like the opportunity to meet with and learn from others in similar roles and access advice in an informal setting, why not come along. Meetings are run on a quarterly basis. Contact us for more information about the next meeting.
