Accountancy for charities

Led by our dedicated not-for-profit Centre of Excellence we serve more than 200 charities

Charities and not-for-profit organisations need a special kind of accountancy, audit and advisory service. Supporting the finance team, whilst giving trustees the clarity and confidence they need. That takes experience.

But if you work in charity finance, you’ll know that’s often not the reality. Many accountants support only one or two charities – and it’s easy to feel like an afterthought.

We do things differently. Our dedicated not-for-profit team gives you the focus and attention you deserve. And every relationship is led by a senior team member – a partner or director, who’ll understand your objectives, challenge where you need it and help you achieve your goals.

That’s why we provide accountancy, audit, tax, and VAT support to well over 200 charities and not-for-profit organisations. From the education sector and specialist regional causes to national household names.

We’ll use our extensive experience of accountancy for charities – with support from specialist colleagues – to give you clear, authoritative answers and advice. So you can feel confident about compliance, and make the best use of your hard-raised funds to achieve your aims.

A constructive approach to charity audit

If you’re a charity trustee, we know how much you have to think about. A clear, robust audit can give you the confidence to concentrate on your real objectives – while protecting the things that matter to your organisation.

That’s where an experienced charity audit team makes a real difference.

We take time to understand your context and use data tools to focus our human investigations on the most relevant areas. It makes us efficient, improves data security and reduces the disruption for your people. In short, we provide both challenge and support.

Then, we’ll make realistic recommendations to improve your controls and systems. And, if you like, we can help you communicate with stakeholders in a more meaningful way.

Independent cyber specialists

We work alongside leadership teams, trustees and senior executives to ensure cyber risk is properly understood, well‑managed and proportionate to your organisation’s mission. Our services provide clear, independent insight to help protect beneficiaries, staff, pupils and the continuity of essential services.
