Third parties

Run a national campaign with a finance function built for scrutiny.

Acacia Blue Accounting supports third parties and significant third parties with fractional CFO oversight, expenditure tracked by electorate and donor disclosure at volume, coordinated with qualified legal advisers where a formal position is needed.

Talk to us What we do

Your status is yours to work out. Whether you are a third party or a significant third party, and what that means for you, is a matter for you and your own legal counsel. Once you know where you stand, we help you meet the financial side of it.

What we do

Expenditure tracked by candidate and electorate, so spending is measured against the cap that applies to each.
A consistent way of recording expenditure, so similar spending is recorded the same way each time, with questions about what counts as electoral expenditure referred to your own legal counsel.
Registration, returns and disclosures on one calendar, across federal and state jurisdictions.
Donor disclosure at volume, with donation platforms reconciled to Xero so small-dollar donations are reconciled and ready for reporting.
Fractional CFO oversight: budgets, cashflow forecasting, and board and funder reporting.
Readiness for 1 January 2027, when the federal disclosure and expenditure rules change.
