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.

 

How charities can benefit from having an accountant

 

  • A charities specialist will not only understand the sector but also get to know your organisation in detail

  • Less in-house staff devoted to finance and accounting will minimise your costs

  • You can be guaranteed to receive detailed reports and accounts in a timely fashion

  • Your accounts will be prepared to the highest standard thanks to our expertise

  • Your organisation will be fully compliant with all the relevant laws and regulations

  • You can spend more precious time focusing on your core aims and objectives

  • Effective tax planning for charities ensures compliance with obligations and maximises available tax relief opportunities

 

Charity accounting services

We can provide the following core services:

  • External audit of your charity

  • Independent examination

  • Preparation of year end SORP compliant accounts

  • Advice and training

  • Services for Community Interest Companies (CICs)

  • Services tailored for not-for-profit organisations

The Charities Act requires most charities to undergo an external audit or independent examination of their accounts, and we ensure compliance with these legal requirements.

We work with you to deliver these services in a way which suits you and because we hope to work with clients for years to come, we are always looking for ways to make our services practical and great value for money. Get in touch with one of our professional charity accountants today.
