We are a Welsh charity that has the in-house expertise and experience to prepare your charity accounts and carry out your Independent Examination for far less than it costs with a high street accountancy firm. This means your charity will have more money to spend on its charitable activities.
It is easy to find an accountant. But it is very difficult to find one who specialises in the not-for-profit sector – who understands the problems you face and the intricacies of tracking restricted funding for example. Accounting requirements for charities are very different to that for commercial companies. As a result, inadequately trained corporate accountants will not be able to advise you on your charity’s reserves policy, or help you claim gift aid or even generate management accounts for the Trustees that make sense. A task as simple as bookkeeping for a charity requires specialist knowledge too. As specialist charity accountants, we provide services to all types of charity, community interest companies, charitable incorporated organisations and social enterprises.
Our aim is to provide client satisfaction by providing exceptional quality accounting services to charities at a reasonable cost.
Client satisfaction is at the heart of what we do.
We do it so that charities get value for money without having to spend a fortune – this is something we rightly stand for.
We are proud to be a Wales based charity – we are not looking to make a profit out of you and any money that we do make goes back into the “pot” to fund good causes.
We have been established for nearly 40 years and so have a really good understanding of the problems that charities face….particularly in the current difficult economic climate.
We have achieved the Charity Excellence Framework Quality Mark.
We have other in-house services that could benefit your charity, eg. HR Services; Creating the Right Culture in your Workplace etc.
The fact that we are also a charity and our passion for what we do makes us stand out from other accountants. Our aim is to provide accounting services that make a difference. Just like you are a charity trying to make an impact on the lives that matter to you, we are a charity that is trying to make a good impact on other charities. We value even the smallest charity and endeavour to build a long lasting relationship with all clients. Because that makes us deliver our services with a personal touch.
