Charities & the Not for Profit Sector

In our experience, it is impossible to offer our clients the best advice without having a deep understanding of their organisation and the unique factors that affect them. We have dedicated a lot of time developing our expertise in a number of industry sectors, including Charities.

Charities

Charities need the same kind of sound business advice as profit-making organisations, and will often be required to have an annual audit. What you need from your accountants is a sympathetic approach to your charity's aims and objectives, and one which doesn't just fulfil statutory obligations.

We have considerable knowledge of the charity sector, so we understand the legal and regulatory framework together with the charity culture. This enables us to deliver sensitive and practical advice.

Trustees and Directors

We don't just advise charities, many of our partners take an active role as trustees and directors. Because we get involved, we have a better understanding of how charities work, and take a broader view when it comes to offering any other kind of professional advice

“Our aim is to make a real difference to our clients, help businesses in our community, and enjoy what we do.”
Andrew Lane, Managing Partner

In summary

Non-Profit-Making Organisations and Charities offer something quite special and that is why they need a special approach to their financial and accounting needs. We offer a sympathetic approach to their aims and objectives and one which doesn’t just fulfil statutory obligations.

This area is very important to our firm.

We work closely with our clients to gain a greater understanding of their requirements and then develop a personalised approach to their work. With a tougher regulatory regime, greater commercial pressures and the fast pace of change, Charities and Not For Profit organisations need to have effective systems to control and monitor their finances.
