For club treasurers

Bookkeeping for club, PTA and community group treasurers

Club treasurer software that sets itself up from one answer. Tell Fin the books are for a club, a PTA or a community group, and it lays out the categories that kind of group uses, with members, events and funds to tag. Each payment is tagged as it arrives from the club’s bank, and the receipts and payments statement for the AGM is ready when you are.

What Fin does for you

Set up from one answer

Sign-up asks who the books are for — you, your business, or a club, charity or community group — then shows only the types for your country. A club gets membership subscriptions, match and entry fees, bar takings, venue hire, kit and league fees; a PTA gets fundraising events and gifts to the school.

Members, events and funds from the same records

Fin sets up three lenses with starter entries: Members, Events and Funds, with a General fund ready for an entry per restricted grant or designated pot. A subs payment stays in its category and is also counted against the member who paid and the fund it belongs to.

Subs matched to the member who paid

Add a member and choose Match payments from their name, and every payment from them is tagged to their entry as it lands from the bank feed or a statement. Who has paid this season is one view, not a spreadsheet of ticks.

The AGM statement, ready

Receipts and payments by category and by fund, with the opening and closing balance of each, for any period — the season, the year, the months since the last committee meeting. Download it as CSV, or hand the year-end pack to your independent examiner.

The club’s own books

The club keeps its own 2Fin account, fed by its own bank account, apart from your personal or sole-trader books. That is what an examiner expects, and the history stays with the club when the next treasurer takes over.

Only the screens a club uses

Properties, deductions, student loans, super and the income-tax forecast are hidden for a club, because a club never needs them. The lenses Fin sets up for a club are on every plan, including Free.

In the United Kingdom

At sign-up a UK club chooses club or society, PTA or parents’ association, or community amateur sports club (CASC). Each is registered — or not — in its own way, and Fin’s books are the same either way.

A club or society

Usually an unincorporated association: a group of people who agree to run the club together under a constitution. There is nowhere to register it, and it costs nothing to set up; it pays Corporation Tax only on profits such as trading or investment income.

A PTA

Often unincorporated too. A PTA whose purpose is charitable registers with the Charity Commission once its income is over £5,000 a year in England and Wales (OSCR in Scotland, the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland there), and below that can still ask HMRC to recognise it as a charity to claim Gift Aid.

A community amateur sports club

A CASC registers with HMRC, not the Charity Commission, and can then claim Gift Aid on donations and business rates relief. A registered CASC cannot also be a charity for tax purposes. Choosing CASC at sign-up adds a Gift Aid donors lens beside Members, Events and Funds.

How the Gift Aid claim sheet works

In Australia

An Australian club chooses incorporated association, registered charity (ACNC) or club or community group at sign-up, and Fin sets up the same members, events and funds.

An incorporated association

Incorporated under your state or territory’s law — the “Inc” after the name — and answerable to that regulator for things such as annual reports and financial records. Many charities registered with the ACNC are incorporated associations.

A club that is not a charity

A non-charitable not-for-profit does not register with the ACNC. If it has an active ABN and self-assesses as income tax exempt, it lodges an annual NFP self-review return with the ATO, first for the 2023–24 income year.

A club that is a charity

It registers with the ACNC, and the ATO endorses it as income tax exempt. The ACNC sizes it by revenue: a small charity, under $500,000, is not required to submit a financial report.

Funds, members and events in 2Fin

A season’s money, and where each line lands

The usual money in and out of a club, the category Fin sets up for it, and the lens entries the same payment is tagged to. Every payment keeps one category and can carry several tags.

Did you know?

Capital gains tax arrived in Australia on 20 September 1985 — and anything bought before that day is still exempt as a 'pre-CGT asset', four decades on.

Wikipedia: 'A capital gains tax (CGT) was introduced in Australia on 20 September 1985'; 'Any asset acquired before 20 September 1985, known as a pre-CGT asset' is outside the tax. The family home is 'the most significant' of the exemptions.

Mississippi launched America's first statewide general sales tax in 1932 at 2% — Governor Mike Conner actually wanted 3 cents on the dollar but the legislature cut him to 2.

Conner pushed an Emergency Revenue Act to ease a roughly $13 million Depression deficit; the 2% tax took effect May 1, 1932, and has since grown to Mississippi's 7% rate.

Club treasurers — common questions

Can I keep the club’s money in my own 2Fin account?

Keep it in one of the club’s own. The club’s books get their own 2Fin account, fed by the club’s own bank account, separate from your personal or sole-trader books. That is how an independent examiner expects to find them, it keeps your own spending out of the club’s figures, and the records stay with the club when you hand over.

What happens to the books when a new treasurer takes over?

They stay with the club, because they were never in your account. The year’s transactions, the members, events and funds, and the rules that tag payments all belong to the club’s 2Fin account. The handover itself — the bank mandate, the passwords, the paperwork and a reconciled balance — is a short checklist on the Learn pages.

How does Fin know which member a subs payment came from?

From a rule on the member’s entry, such as “money from J SMITH → J. Smith”. Choosing Match payments from their name when you add a member writes it in one click, and from then on every payment from that name is tagged to them as it arrives from the bank feed or a statement you upload.

A PTA raises money at the summer fair and spends it on the school — how does that read?

As one story. The fair’s takings land in Fundraising events, tagged to the fair as an entry in the Events lens, and what the PTA pays for — new books, playground markings — goes to Gifts to the school. If a parent gives money for one named thing, it can have a fund of its own, so it is not spent on anything else by mistake.

What does the treasurer’s report at the AGM come from?

From the receipts and payments statement for the club’s year: money in and money out by category, with the opening and closing balance, and each fund’s balance beside it. Fin builds it from the transactions already sorted through the year, and it downloads as CSV for the report, or goes in the year-end pack for an examiner.

Is a sports club a charity?

Usually not. Most clubs are unincorporated associations, which need no registration at all. A sports club that meets HMRC’s conditions can register as a community amateur sports club to claim Gift Aid on donations and business rates relief, and a registered CASC cannot also be a charity for tax purposes.

Does a small club need a paid plan?

It can start on Free. The categories and the Members, Events and Funds lenses Fin sets up for a club are on every plan, including Free, and so are the receipts and payments by fund. Paid plans add automation such as automatic categories; see the plans on this page.

Does it work for a club in Australia or elsewhere?

Yes. In Australia sign-up offers incorporated association, registered charity (ACNC) and club or community group; everywhere else, club or community group and charity or nonprofit. Money shows in your own currency, and the members, events and funds work the same way.
