Charity Accountants.
Accountants for Charities
Accountants supporting charities in London and across the UK to achieve their aims and ambitions
We’re specialist charity accountants that help charities with all their accounting needs, so that they can devote more time and energy to the work that really matters. We place a special emphasis on forming supportive relationships with our clients and know that charities are special. We genuinely understand – and care about – how they work. It is crucial for charities to comply with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) to ensure legal compliance and sustainability.
As well as being experienced accounting professionals, we share the ethos which motivates many charity leaders. We have a wealth of experience in the charity accounting sector, enabling us to advise, alert and guide you on relevant matters. Our aim is to help you with financial and taxation matters, so that you can devote more time and focus to the work which achieves your aims. Charities must also prepare annual accounts to meet their statutory obligations and manage their finances effectively.
