Profile:
A not-for-profit organisation making accessible and creative modern circus shows with annual income of £1.2m.
How we helped:
We have worked closely with Cirque Bijou to develop their understanding of their financial position, by significantly improving internal reporting and providing ongoing training and mentoring to the Finance Manager. Key areas of work have included:
- Development of intuitive, accurate and understandable quarterly management reports
- Migration from cash-based Sage One record-keeping, to accruals accounting on Xero
- Implementation of systems to accurately record the company’s substantial non-cash transactions
- Development of detailed reporting by event to allow producers and directors to keep a close eye on production finances
- Grant certification for Arts Council funding
The Godfrey Wilson team are endlessly patient and helpful, and have advised on the best processes and resources to meet our needs as a growing arts business. I really appreciate their supportive and personal approach.
Thea Woodrow Davies, Finance Manager
