Charities and
Not-For-Profit

Our clients encompass a diverse range of entities, including incorporated organisations, trusts, and social enterprises, engaged in activities such as academies, hospices, the social care sector, independent schools, museums, theatres, religious organisations, and student unions. Our clients vary in size from smaller organisations requiring independent examinations to larger organisations with elaborate fund structures.

Many of our team members also serve as charity trustees and school governors, affording them a profound understanding of the unique challenges that charitable organisations encounter.

Our overarching mission is to inspire our clients to attain their highest potential, collaborating closely with them to help them achieve their goals. We stand apart by offering innovative, practical, and easily comprehensible advice across a wide range of issues. Our commitment extends throughout the year, ensuring our clients receive ongoing support, not merely as an annual obligation.

• Crafting annual accounts characterised by transparency, thereby enhancing their ability to attract additional funding.
• Meeting the rigorous compliance obligations associated with audit or independent examination requirements.
• Ensuring that the audit process adds value beyond mere compliance.

• Implementing tax-efficient strategies to facilitate uninterrupted business operations.
• Maximising income streams through effective utilisation of Gift Aid and the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme.
• Minimising the incidence of irrecoverable VAT.
• Implementing rigorous financial controls to safeguard the funds entrusted to charitable organisations.
