Founder - Charity Essentials
Charity Essentials is founder-led accounting support for Canadian charities that need clear books, CRA confidence, and practical finance guidance without corporate noise.

These are real comments from charity leaders, treasurers, and executive directors across Canada.
“Reliable charity financial guidance for board confidence.”
I have had the pleasure of working with Andrey Timofeev at CharityEssentials for our National Foundation since August 2023.
Andrey has been a tremendous asset and guide as we move ahead. His prompt and clear communications makes our work as volunteers easier and provides the Board and I with a high level of confidence.
I am happy to provide a recommendation for Andrey and his firm and look forward to a long working relationship having skilled professionals on our team.
“CFO advisory support for small charity leadership.”
We connected with Charity Essentials in 2025 while exploring financial support options for our organization. From the start, their strong understanding of the charitable sector, straightforward communication, and thoughtful approach stood out and gave us confidence in moving forward with them. Since beginning our work together, we’ve been really pleased with the level of support and attention we receive. Their founder Andrey is consistently responsive, clear, and reassuring, which has helped us feel well-supported as a small charity navigating complex financial responsibilities. We feel confident in our decision to work with Charity Essentials and value the partnership we’re building with their team and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for financial support options for their organization.
“Audit-ready nonprofit accounting with clear communication.”
As Executive Director of the Calgary Catholic Education Foundation, I enjoy working with Charity Essentials. Their communication is excellent, and their team is incredibly responsive. They supported us through a much needed cleanup, redesigned our chart of accounts, and guided us seamlessly through the audit process. They took the time to truly understand our work and went deep into the accounting details to ensure our impact is represented accurately. Thanks to their support, we can stay focused on our mission.
