Grantbury
Grantbury services for research institutions

Our services

Three services. Each one designed for a specific part of grant finance.

We don't offer a single catch-all package. Most institutions find that one or two of these services covers exactly what they need — and that's perfectly fine.

What we offer

Focused where it matters most.

Grant finance has three distinct areas that tend to create problems when they're not handled carefully: tracking how money is spent against each award, preparing the reports funders require, and making sure costs are eligible before they're claimed.

We offer a dedicated service for each. They can be used individually or in combination — whichever reflects what your institution actually needs.

Grant bookkeeping and spend tracking

Service 01

Grant Bookkeeping & Spend Tracking

Each award tracked in its own ledger — no mixed accounts

Monthly reconciliation with clear spend-vs-budget position

Costs coded correctly to the right award from the start

Using more than one

How the services work together

Each service stands on its own — but they're designed to complement each other. A few common combinations:

Bookkeeping + Reporting

The most common pairing. Spend is tracked carefully month to month, so when report time comes, the figures are already in order. No scramble, no reconstruction.

Compliance Review + Reporting

Useful when an institution has existing bookkeeping in place but wants assurance that costs are eligible before a report is prepared and submitted.

All three together

For institutions that want the full grant finance cycle handled — tracking, compliance, and reporting — under one arrangement. Suited to teams without dedicated finance staff.

Who we work with

Research teams and institutions of various sizes

Small research teams without dedicated finance staff

Where grant finance currently falls to a researcher or administrator who has other primary responsibilities.

Institutions with in-house finance but no grant specialism

Where general bookkeeping is well-handled but grant-specific requirements create a gap in expertise.

Growing portfolios with multiple concurrent awards

Where managing several grants simultaneously has outgrown the previous approach.

Projects approaching a reporting deadline or audit

Where one-off support — a compliance review or report preparation — would provide assurance at a key moment.

Getting started

Starting is straightforward.

We don't require a lengthy onboarding process before we can be useful. A short conversation about your awards and what you need is usually enough to get started.

01

Get in touch

Drop us a message with a brief description of your institution and what you're managing. No forms, no formality.

02

Short conversation

We'll have a brief call to understand your awards and discuss which service or combination would be most useful.

03

We begin

Once we've agreed the scope, we review your award documents and set up the tracking structure. From there, the work runs quietly in the background.

Ready when you are

Not sure which service fits? We can help work that out.

A short conversation about your current situation is often all it takes to identify where specialist support would make a real difference. There's no obligation on either side.
