Accountants and Auditors for Housing Associations
The social housing market faces new challenges as we emerge from the pandemic. An uncertain economic climate, cost of living pressures on tenants and staff shortages make the sector particularly vulnerable. Those working within social housing need to make the best of every opportunity to maintain the financial stability of their organisation.
