Not-for-Profit. Mission first, governance close behind.

Grant-making foundations, operating charities of every size, social enterprises, faith organisations, membership bodies, independent schools and CIO start-ups. We act for boards that take their public-benefit duty seriously and want a finance partner who does too.

• Grant-making and operating charities
• Social enterprises and CICs
• Independent schools and academies
• Faith organisations and dioceses
• Membership and professional bodies
• Charitable trusts and family foundations

A SORP-compliant set of accounts is the floor, not the ceiling. We help boards build the management pack — restricted fund movements, reserves position, grant pipeline and unrestricted run-rate — that lets trustees focus on mission instead of mechanics.

Trading subsidiaries, mixed VAT, business rates relief, gift aid and the small-trades exemption — structured so the charity captures the value without falling foul of trustee duties or the Commission. The decisions taken at set-up shape the next decade; we make them deliberately.

• Trading subsidiary structuring and gift-aid mechanics
• VAT partial exemption and special methods
• Business rates relief and discretionary applications
• Non-charitable trading limits and small-trades exemption

Lottery, government, philanthropic and corporate funders increasingly require independent assurance over how their money was spent. We deliver grant certifications, restricted fund audits and project-level assurance to the standard each funder requires.

Reserves policies, going-concern reviews, risk registers and the conflicts of interest the Commission expects to see managed. Practical scaffolding, not paper for paper's sake.
