Specialist accounting for associations

Do you run a registered association in the KRS (National Court Register) or an ordinary association and need a partner who understands the realities of a non-governmental organisation? Our accounting for associations is matched to the specifics of NGOs: non-paid and paid statutory activity, any business activity, membership fees, subsidies and grants, and the settlement of CIT-8 (corporate income tax return) with a possible exemption for income allocated to statutory purposes. You get a regular, experienced accountant who keeps the records, watches the deadlines towards the tax office and the KRS and separates the funding sources, so you can focus on the organisation's mission.

This is an accounting firm for NGOs, where online accounting comes with the care of a regular accountant rather than self-service software. Depending on the scale and nature of the association's activity, we keep full accounting books or simplified records of revenue and costs for smaller organisations (up to the statutory limit and without business activity). We watch over the separate settlement of subsidies and grants, prepare financial and activity reports and take care of obligations towards members, including GDPR matters. We work remotely across Poland, in Polish and English.

Who is this accounting service for?

Associations registered in the KRS

Organisations entered in the National Court Register, carrying out non-paid and paid statutory activity, that need full accounting support, the settlement of CIT-8 and financial and activity reports compliant with the regulations.

Ordinary associations and small NGOs

Smaller organisations financed mainly by membership fees, for which simplified records of revenue and costs are possible, provided they do not carry out business activity and stay within the statutory revenue limit.

Associations with subsidies and grants

Organisations running projects financed by subsidies, grants and public funds, which require careful, separate settlement of each source, the separation of costs and the correct treatment of funds allocated to statutory purposes.

What does accounting for an association cover?

Books or simplified records

We keep full accounting books or simplified records of revenue and costs, matching the scope to the scale and nature of the organisation.

Membership fees

We record and settle membership fees and other own income of the association, ensuring transparency in the organisation's finances.

Subsidies, grants and public funds

We settle subsidies, grants and public funds separately for each project, separate the costs and prepare data for the grant providers.

CIT-8 and statutory exemptions

We settle the association's CIT-8 (corporate income tax return), verifying the exemption for income allocated to statutory purposes and watching over timely filings.

Financial and activity reports

We prepare the organisation's annual financial statement, support the activity report and the obligations towards the KRS.

Statutory and business activity

We separate non-paid and paid statutory activity from any business activity, keeping the separate records required by the regulations.

Why do associations choose Luno-Group?

You get a regular, experienced accountant who knows the specifics of non-governmental organisations: the difference between a registered association in the KRS and an ordinary one, non-paid and paid statutory activity and any business activity. We know how to separate funding sources, settle subsidies and grants separately, record membership fees and settle CIT-8 with a possible exemption for income allocated to statutory purposes. We will establish whether your organisation must keep full accounting books or may use simplified records of revenue and costs, prepare financial and activity reports and take care of obligations towards members and GDPR matters. We keep all of the online accounting fully remotely, watching over the deadlines towards the tax office and the KRS, and you can talk to us in Polish or English (PL / EN). Instead of operating yet another piece of software, you have a regular accountant who takes the organisation's affairs on themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Before you entrust us with your organisation's accounting.

Does an association have to keep accounts?+

Yes. Every association has record-keeping and reporting obligations, the scope of which depends on its form and the scale of its activity. Larger organisations and those carrying out business activity keep full accounting books, while smaller ones may use simplified records. We will establish which option applies to your organisation.

What is the difference between a registered and an ordinary association?+

A registered association is entered in the KRS, has legal personality and may, among other things, carry out business activity. An ordinary association is a simplified form with limited possibilities, financed mainly by membership fees. The form affects the scope of accounting, which we establish individually.

When can an association use simplified records?+

Simplified records of revenue and costs are available to smaller associations that do not carry out business activity, stay within the statutory revenue limit and meet the other conditions. The remaining organisations keep full books. We verify eligibility individually.

How do you settle subsidies and grants in an association?+

We settle subsidies, grants and public funds separately for each project: we keep separate records, separate the costs and prepare data for reports to the grant providers. We also ensure the correct treatment of funds allocated to statutory purposes, so that settlements are transparent.

Does an association pay CIT and when is it exempt?+

An association is, as a rule, a CIT payer and files CIT-8 (a corporate income tax return); however, income allocated to statutory purposes may benefit from an exemption if the statutory conditions are met. We settle CIT-8, verify the right to the exemption and watch over timely filings. We confirm the details individually.

Is an association's accounting handled fully online?+

Yes, this is online accounting. You send documents, invoices and grant agreements through the Client panel (you get access after signing the contract), and you stay in touch with a regular accountant remotely, with care for data security and GDPR towards members. We serve organisations from all over Poland, and we speak Polish and English.
