NFP Types We Support
We work with all types of not-for-profit organisations:
ACNC Compliance and Tax Concessions for Brisbane NFPs
Not-for-profit organisations in Brisbane must navigate a complex regulatory landscape involving the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), the ATO, and state regulators. Registered charities must submit annual information statements to the ACNC, including financial reports for medium and large charities. The level of reporting depends on your organisation's size category — small (under $250K revenue), medium ($250K–$1M), or large (over $1M).
Tax concessions available to NFPs can include income tax exemption, GST concessions, FBT rebates or exemptions, and refunds of franking credits. However, these concessions aren't automatic — they require endorsement by the ATO and ongoing compliance with eligibility requirements. Our Brisbane NFP accountants ensure your organisation maintains its tax-exempt status and claims all available concessions.
We also help NFPs with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) registration, which allows donors to claim tax deductions for their contributions. DGR status can significantly boost fundraising but requires specific governance and reporting arrangements. Our accounting services ensure your NFP meets all regulatory requirements while our financial reporting keeps your board and stakeholders informed.
Grant Management and Financial Sustainability for NFPs
Many Brisbane NFPs rely on grant funding from government bodies, philanthropic foundations, and corporate sponsors. Each grant typically comes with specific conditions around how funds are spent, what outcomes must be achieved, and what financial reporting is required. Our accountants set up your chart of accounts to track grant funding by project, ensuring you can produce accurate acquittal reports that satisfy funder requirements.
Financial sustainability is an ongoing challenge for NFPs, requiring careful balance between mission delivery and financial viability. We help Brisbane NFPs develop budgets, monitor cash flow, and build financial reserves. Our reporting provides boards with clear visibility into the organisation's financial health, supporting informed governance decisions about programs, staffing, and fundraising priorities.
For NFPs with employees, we manage payroll compliance including FBT reporting — which has special concessions for charities — superannuation, and STP lodgements. Our business advisory services also help NFPs with strategic planning, including diversifying income streams and improving operational efficiency.
