Hi all, 
We're a small organisation with a max. of £100k turnover, and we currently pay an accountant £80/month for their work. We're not getting the best service at the moment, and we we're wondering if anyone here might have some recommendations for us, re: charity bookkeepers/accountants. 
Also, what should we be expecting to pay for accounting services, such as payroll (for up to 3 employees), independent examination, and handling of receipts and invoices?
At the moment we are using Xero for our accounts, and Hubdoc for uploading receipts/invoices.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
Charity accounting - as distinct from fundraising - isn't really my field.
However, I've made enquiries and I have been recommended this firm by a small charity we work with:
https://www.dentontavara.co.uk
Also, 1st entry on google gave this free hub – basically go through a wizard answering the questions (eg type of organisation so you only get those who can deal with charities) and they email the results for your area. Don’t know how good it is but there are other entries on google:
https://www.bark.com/en/gb/in/bookkeeping/?nrfp=true&cid=748832589&aid=40268405198&dt=c&trk_ad_id=663163583721&trk_kw_id=kwd-25470503&trk_alid_int=&trk_alid_phy=1007037&trk_match_type=p&trk_network=g&trk_extension=&trk_keyword=bookkeeping&trk_placement=&trk_src=g&trk_gclid=CjwKCAjw3oqoBhAjEiwA_UaLtqf3syeF2ZG1A18cEhcoYq8KPhfB2hpSUbY0L7vuKCmq8dGX_9YdmxoCP_gQAvD_BwE&gclid=CjwKCAjw3oqoBhAjEiwA_UaLtqf3syeF2ZG1A18cEhcoYq8KPhfB2hpSUbY0L7vuKCmq8dGX_9YdmxoCP_gQAvD_BwE
Not very helpful, I'm afraid - but no one else has responded to your enquiry !
Best wishes,
Jimmy

Hi Michael,
I use a wonderful small family run accountancy practice who are clued into and mindful of the challenges and needs of small charities.  If you would like their details, please DM me and I will happily give you the full recommendation and name.  If you then contact them, you can tell them that I have signposted and recommended you to them so they know where the link came from.
Regards,
Tracey
