Meet The Treasurer's Ledger: the other half of the PTA year
Upfayre plans the events; The Treasurer's Ledger keeps the books. Read about our new partnership.
We're very pleased to announce that we're now partnered with The Treasurer's Ledger.
After the Christmas fair, the summer disco, the quiz night, there's the bit only the treasurer sees: the receipts in a carrier bag, the bank statement that doesn't quite match, and the year-end accounts the examiner wants.

After the Christmas fair, the summer disco, the quiz night, there's the bit only the treasurer sees: the receipts in a carrier bag, the bank statement that doesn't quite match, and the year-end accounts the examiner wants.
What The Treasurer's Ledger does
The Treasurer's Ledger is accounts software for PTA treasurers, built by a treasurer. It:
- reads receipts that volunteers email in or send through a simple form, and puts each approved claim in the ledger
- brings in your takings from card readers and payment platforms such as SumUp, Zettle, Square and Stripe
- reconciles them against your bank statement
- records committee votes on spending requests
- produces your year-end Receipts and Payments accounts (the Charity Commission's CC16a format), with a pack for your examiner
- hands over cleanly when the treasurer changes, which in a PTA is every couple of years
- brings in your Upfayre ticket sales through your Stripe account
Normally it costs £19 a year when paid by Direct Debit, but we've got a special offer just for Upfayre customers. You can get a year of Treasurer's Ledger for only £5, whether you're new to it or already use it! Look in Manage PTA, under For your treasurer.
Why we're recommending each other
Andy runs The Treasurer's Ledger. When we spoke, it was clear our two products cover the same PTA year from opposite ends. Upfayre is where the committee plans the fair, fills the rota and sells the tickets. The Ledger is where the money from it ends up being accounted for. Neither of us wants to be the other and we can provide very complementary services.
