Lead grant auditor
Former charity finance director with twelve years reviewing lottery and government awards across Scotland and northern England.
We are a small UK practice focused on one problem: proving that grant money was spent as the award required.
Auto ML works with charities, community consortia, and funded partnerships that need an independent reading of their grant ledgers. Our work sits between day-to-day bookkeeping and statutory audit: we test claimed costs against award conditions, organise evidence, and write findings boards and funders can act on.
We are based at 83 Park Place, Carse, PA29 3JX, United Kingdom. Engagements are delivered remotely across Great Britain with optional on-site sampling when the award size or evidence volume justifies travel.
We do not sell software subscriptions or generic “AI dashboards.” Every engagement begins with your award letter, claim schedule, and the people who own the paperwork. Findings are written in plain English with schedules attached—not buried in jargon.
Auditors and advisers who have sat on both sides of funder monitoring.
