When we were approached by the Organizers of Music on The Green, Bearsted Events C.I.C, to see if we would donate some time, to help with Accounting and Bookkeeping support, we jumped at the chance.
Not only do we have the opportunity to help raise funds for some great local community groups, we also get to see the behind the scenes workings of a music event. How cool is that!
The first thing we did was sit with the event organisers to create a budget for the event so we were confident that it was viable. Once we had the budget, we entered this into www.xero.com so we could use the budgeting feature to track the costs.
We were determined to take managing this event into the cloud so along with Xero for bookkeeping, we use https://www.theticketfairy.com/ to take care of Ticket Sales combined with https://stripe.com/gb to take payments.
All of this meant that we could easily manage the sales of tickets and the bookkeeping for the event.
Regular meetings between our team and the event team means that of all the things they have to organise and get right, they won’t have to worry about the finances.
Jo Conner, Chairperson of Bearsted Events says “Will and his team at Accsys have been great they have really taken much of the worry out of the finances”
