Accountants for Charities
Providing Guidance, Compliance & Governance to the charities sector.
At Ballards LLP, we understand that to work with charitable organisations, large or small, it takes a certain expertise.
Our specialist team of charity sector accountants keep up to date on the Charities Act 2006 and all ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) guidelines as well as regular ‘continuous professional development’ courses and initiatives. Along with 30 years of experience working within the sector, this continuous updating of sector skills means that we are able to provide a tailored and specialist approach to our charity sector clients.
We work closely with the charities that we look after, appointing a regular point of contact as well as providing direct access to Partners at all times. We feel that building strong relationships and providing regular meetings leads to solid planning and efficiencies.
In the UK, over 75% of businesses are family companies so a large percentage of our clients are affected. We therefore have a great deal of experience in dealing with problems that may arise and more importantly preventing problems before they occur.
