Small
Under about £25,000
Exemption territory if the tests are met. Excel is common. The win is site, mail, a reconcilable cashbook and dates that do not live in one head.
Who it is for
A smaller authority with a real statutory year.
Parish and town councils in England with turnover from nearly nothing up to £200,000. Clerks on a handful of hours, often covering more than one council.
Mid
£25,000–£75,000
A hall or plots, a thicker policy file, perhaps two clerkships. Still receipts and payments.
Upper end of the band
Up to about £200,000
Same toolkit. Not a town finance suite. Accruals are not required in this band.
Who it is not for
A town council with a finance officer and a thousand transactions a month. A clerk who wants a blank CMS. A council that only wants mapping, or only a cemetery register.
