Charities & Not-for-Profit organisations are currently exposed to a challenging economic environment coupled with extensive changes in their regulatory and legal framework. Given the additional pressures on fundraising, complex tax regimes, internal risk exposure and stakeholder demands, it has never been more important to obtain specialist professional advice.
We have specialists at all levels with a wealth of experience in providing a variety of services to the sector. Our clients include companies limited by guarantee, charities, associations, trusts, pension schemes and public sector bodies, each with their own unique requirements.

We are members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales Special Interest Group for ‘The Charity and Voluntary Sector’. It is this knowledge and experience which allows us to fully understand our clients needs and offer beneficial advice in a pro-active manner.
We advise on governance, risk policies, reserves, funding, investments, project appraisal, VAT and internal controls. We also advise on compliance with the SORP and many other current issues such as Charitable Incorporated Organisations and public benefit.
