Training & Events This is an opportunity for us to hear your pain points and offer guidance, training and advice to help you eliminate these.
Operating as a virtual practice across the UK, we provide accounting, financial training and consultancy services to charities. We know what it means to operate in the charity sector and understand the unique culture and aspirations, which set Third Sector organisations aside from typical commercial businesses.

Common themes heard by us in our work as charity advisors are:
- “We do ‘xyz’ like this but there must be a better way of doing it!”
- “We’re about to try and integrate a new piece of fundraising software with our accounts package – do you know anyone who has been through the process?”
- “We’re thinking of trying …. any advice?”
Here at Gerrard Financial Consulting, we felt inspired by those involved in the sector, who are dealing with (and finding solutions to) these issues on a daily basis – i.e. you! We saw an opportunity for collaborative problem-solving and gured that enabling individuals to come together and share their own experiences could reap huge, tangible bene ts.
Not intended as a formal training event in any way, a typical gathering simply seeks to pop like-minded people in a room (with a cuppa and a slice of cake) to chat and mull over their burning issues – completely free of charge of course.
