Why CharityControl

One place for governance, money and impact

Most charities already have tools. The problem is that the pieces don't join up, so no one can see whether the things trustees are responsible for are under control. Here's an honest look at how CharityControl compares to what you may use now.

Compared with spreadsheets and email

A folder of documents and a chain of emails can hold a lot. What they can't do is tell you what needs attention, or keep a reliable record of who decided what.

Nothing gets missed
Every deadline has an owner and a reminder, not a note in one person's diary.
One reliable record
Decisions, minutes and registers live in one place, with a history of every change.
It survives a handover
When the secretary changes, the records stay put. Nothing leaves on a laptop.
Kept safe and separate
Sensitive papers are held with proper access by role, not shared round by email.

Compared with board portals

Board portals are good at circulating papers before a meeting. Most stop there, and they charge for every trustee. CharityControl runs the meeting and the governance behind it.

The meeting itself
Live quorum, motions and votes, then minutes drafted from the record and formally approved.
Governance, not just papers
Risks, policies, conflicts and filings with a live status, not a pack you assemble by hand.
Reports that build themselves
A Trustees' Annual Report drafted from your live records, ready for SORP 2026.
One price, all your people
You pay per charity, with unlimited trustees and volunteers, never per seat.

Compared with accounting tools

Xero and QuickBooks handle the bookkeeping well. They don't cover governance, and they show money the way an accountant reads it, not the way a trustee needs it.

We connect, we don't replace
CharityControl reads Xero, so you keep your bookkeeping where it is.
Money a trustee can read
Reserves against policy, restricted funds tracked correctly, cash at a glance.
The rest of the job too
Meetings, risk, policies and impact, not just the ledger.
Impact alongside finance
Show the difference you make next to what it cost, ready for the annual report.
Priced for small charities

All of it, in one place, for one fair price

Free for the smallest charities, and a single per-charity price after that, with unlimited trustees and volunteers.
