If you’re a charity or not-for-profit organisation, we’re ideally placed to look after your financial interests. Why? Because, we are both large enough to offer the specialist expertise and services this sector demands, yet small enough to give you a high degree of partner involvement.

Currently, we are a valued adviser to over 100 charities and not-for-profit organisations. These include professional institutions and associations, religious bodies, grant making trusts and foundations, education, youth and arts organisations, and welfare, environment and healthcare charities. Our client base ranges across the whole of the south coast, from Bournemouth to Brighton, and we are ideally situated to advise London based charities.

We understand the pressure to maximise funds and make the most of every fundraising opportunity. Led by partner, Richard Perry with over 25 years’ experience, the team provides the strategic advice you need to achieve your organisation’s objectives. Richard is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Special Interest Group for Charities and regularly attends the Institute’s relevant conferences.

As well as core audit and accountancy services, we can advise on a range of other issues including governance, risk management strategies and internal control procedures. This will make it easier for you to comply with SORP (Statements of Recommended Practice), and help you plan and manage your operations better. We also ensure all our clients are sent regular newsletters, detailing current topics and changes affecting the sector. If you would like to receive our regular newsletter, please email us here to sign up.

If you would like any further details on any of the above, or have any other questions, please contact us here or email our specialist charity accountants team on Charities.
