About Charity Essentials

Who are we?

Together, we provide the expertise and clarity necessary for organizations to thrive, allowing them to focus on their programs and outreach efforts.

At Charity Essentials, our passion for supporting non-profit organizations stems from our founder, Andrey, a CPA whose long-term dedication to helping charities navigate the complexities of financial management are both inspiring and impactful.

Andrey understands the importance of keeping excellent financial records and maintaining compliance with CRA regulations. When charities have their financial operations streamlined, they can focus on what truly matters—their mission to make a
difference in the community.

With a strong finance background and extensive volunteer involvement in a variety of non-profit organizations, Andrey has an in-depth understanding of the challenges that non-profits face and the essential role that clear, accurate bookkeeping plays in their success.

In Charity Essentials, Andrey has developed a team of like-minded finance professionals who share this dedication to helping charities thrive.

Charity Essentials provides the financial expertise so you can focus on your programs and outreach efforts and create a lasting impact.

"Fast, Clear, and Reliable – A True Strategic Partner"

What stood out the most in working with Charity Essentials was the incredible speed and clarity of their communication. From the very beginning, the team quickly got a handle on everything - bookkeeping, donation portals, CRA compliance - you name it. I was genuinely impressed by how swiftly they assessed our needs, cleaned up our processes, and got everything running smoothly.

Their communication style is clear, direct, and responsive, which made a huge difference. I never have to chase down updates or wonder where things stand—everything is laid out in a way that’s easy to understand and act on. That level of professionalism gives me the confidence to focus on our mission, knowing our financial operations are in excellent hands.

Charity Essentials isn’t just an accounting firm - they’re a strategic partner for any charity that wants to stay compliant, informed, and mission-driven.
