Charities & Not for Profit
Charities and voluntary groups will
be hard hit in coming years by the government's Comprehensive
Spending Review (CSR). Pressure on local authorities and other
government agencies to reduce spending will severely restrict grant
funding which many charities depend on. Nonetheless, there will be
opportunities for well-managed organisations.
Against this challenging backdrop,
strong management teams supported by specialist professional
advisors are all the more vital for charities to achieve their
objectives.
We offer the benefits of a team of
experts whose experience of advising charities and not for profit
organisations is second to none. All our partners and staff are
up-to-date with all the latest technical developments.
Many of our partners act as
trustees of local charities which means they are ideally placed to
give clients the benefit of their first hand experience of business
planning, fund raising, and the stewardship of charity assets. We
keep a database of other like-minded professionals who may be able
to help your organisation.
Successive Charities Acts
have significantly increased the compliance burden on both
incorporated and unincorporated charities. In response, we offer
value-adding advice and assistance to trustees, enabling them to
comply with their legal responsibilities, as well as accomplishing
their operational goals.
Recognising that you will
have other advisors, we are happy to work closely as part of a team
and have strong connections with many other professional firms and
institutions throughout the region.
