MATCHED – Accounting and Compliance Advice

Ariam Shed CIC is seeking a Skilled Volunteer with accounting expertise to help them establish sound financial systems and ensure they meet their compliance obligations as a newly registered CIC.

Ariam Shed CIC currently manages its finances through a Google spreadsheet and is looking to build this into a more robust and compliant system as the organisation grows. They would value expert guidance to put the right processes and tools in place from the outset, ensuring strong governance as they grow.

• Help Ariam Shed CIC choose and set up suitable accounting software and financial processes
• Advise on HMRC requirements, ensuring compliance when paying directors, freelancers, and other suppliers
• Help prepare the organisation for annual accounts, founder reports, Corporation Tax, and CIC declaration

Ariam Shed CIC runs a community workshop in Haringey where local residents come together to repair, repurpose, and reinvent discarded furniture, combining practical skills with wellbeing, connection, and environmental action. Their work responds to a striking problem: around 670,000 tonnes of potentially reusable furniture are dumped in UK landfills every year, and Ariam Shed CIC is determined to be part of the solution, one piece at a time.
