Accounting Services for Sports Clubs and Volunteer Organisations
Sports clubs and volunteer-run organisations rely heavily on volunteers to manage finances alongside their day-to-day responsibilities. While this works operationally, it can create challenges around consistency, transparency, handover and financial oversight.
At Shelbourne Accountants, we support sports clubs and voluntary organisations across Ireland by providing clear, reliable accounting support that does not rely on one individual or one spreadsheet. We help clubs move to structured, computerised accounting systems with clear processes and controls in place.
Our role is to reduce pressure on volunteers and committees, improve transparency, and ensure club finances are managed responsibly and in line with governance expectations.
