Specialists in
Charities and
not-for-profit
organisations
When you lead a charity or not-for profit body, you juggle many responsibilities, including the day-to-day running of your organisation, maximising funds for its core work and ensuring that you stay compliant with complex regulatory regimes.
That’s why it makes sense to work with advisers who understand charity accountancy, audit and tax requirements and can help you to operate as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
At Moore Thompson Chartered Accountants, our charities and not-for-profit specialists can assist you and your team by preparing accounts and audits compliant with regulatory requirements.
We’ll keep you up to date with changes to accounting formats and advise on how they affect you and help you maximise tax efficiency, so that more money is available to support the people and initiatives that are at the heart of your work. We can also help you and your organisation to plan strategically for the shorter and longer term.
