Charity & Not-for-Profit

ASK CHARITIES AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT organisations why they value Buzzacott, and they will say it is our empathy with their work and understanding of the legal and accounting framework within which they must now operate.

We work directly with the management and trustees of faith-based charities, educational establishments, welfare, healthcare and environmental charities, youth and arts organisations and international development charities.

We offer training for trustees and strategic advice to management. We provide a comprehensive tax, accounting and audit service, bespoke to need.  We will design or review internal controls, and advise on risk and financial management, so critical for this sector.

Buzzacott do all this from a background of specialist experience and technical knowledge which inform our recommendations and ensure they take full account of legislation. Our focus is to make the difficult job our clients do as easy as possible.
