Charities/Not For Profit
Solutions
COA Solutions offers a comprehensive and integrated financial management, procurement, projects, HR and payroll solution tailored specifically for charities and not for profit organisations. Our solutions are extremely scalable, and can be suited to the smaller, less sophisticated or departmental end user as well as the larger, more demanding corporate requirements.
An important characteristic of this sector is the distributed nature of many charities. Our solutions use a simple web interface and workflow routines that allow our not for profit customers to extend their back office finance, procurement, projects, HR and payroll and reporting systems to their distributed offices, both in the UK and globally. This helps to reduce paper flows, reduce data rekeying and improve processes and efficiencies in the care provider business.
The components of our solution for charities and not for profit consist of the following:
Finance and Accounting
COA Solutions streamlines all your financial business processes for enterprise-wide financial management, providing workflow and process control, allowing you to make more informed decisions, improve operations and reduce costs.
The often complex and varied VAT requirements that charities face are provided within our accounting software, ensuring that customers from this sector have the breadth of functionality they require to administer and produce their accounts and reports.

Projects
COA Solutions' project accounting system ensures that skilled and expensive resources are monitored, controlled and, where appropriate, billed as quickly as possible. Transaction entry and online enquiry is facilitated by a simple and intuitive web user interface. Our projects system is widely used by charities to track and manage all forms of projects including grants, funds (restricted, non restricted and designated), events and capital build projects.
Sub-contractors, Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and retentions

COA Solutions provides a fully integrated sub-contract ledger which supports the processing of applications and certificates, CIS deductions and reporting, CIS Gate way submissions, effective VAT processing (including partial and non-recoverable VAT) and management of the whole retention process.
