Charities & Clubs

It is easy to find an accountant. But it is difficult to find a professional, friendly and reliable accountant rolled into one. Your search for a charity and/or club accountant near you is now over.

Clubs:

It is not only businesses that need accounts. Organisations set up for other purposes than to make a profit also need to tell those with an interest how they have dealt with their money. An example of such a type of not-for-profit organisation is a club or society run for the benefit of members.

The legal status of such organisations can vary and reporting requirements are likely to be set out in club rules rather than the law. However, generally accepted accounting principles should apply.

It is often the case that a club member with accountancy expertise is called on to be club treasurer but is usually an accountant that will prepare a set of meaningful club accounts and provide helpful interpretations to members.

Charities:

We have worked closely with charities for over 30 years. So we know that it is very important to have accountants who understand charity finances. Accounting requirements for charities differ considerably to that of sole-trade and limited company’s.
