Frequently Asked Questions

Do non-profits need a chartered accountant?
Many donors and funders require CA-prepared financial statements. A CA(SA) provides the credibility and expertise needed for international grant applications, regulatory compliance, and financial governance advisory. For larger NPOs, a CA(SA) is often essential.
How much does a chartered accountant for an NPO cost in South Africa?
A CA(SA) for NPOs typically charges R5,000–R12,000/month for ongoing advisory, or R10,000–R25,000 for annual financial statements. Many CAs offer reduced rates for NPOs, and the cost can often be included in grant budgets.
Can accounting software replace a chartered accountant for NPOs?
Software handles bookkeeping, but NPOs need a CA(SA) for donor-grade financial statements, governance advisory, and grant compliance. The credibility a CA(SA) brings to your financial reporting is essential for fundraising and donor confidence.
