We specialise in accounting services for the non-profit sector!
Most of our clients operate within the non-profit sector. This includes associations and membership-based organisations, foundations, as well as limited companies affiliated with such entities.
Organisations in this sector are often subject to specific requirements regarding how accounts are maintained and how financial information must be reported to annual general meetings, boards, donors, public authorities, and other stakeholders.
We understand that for associations and non-profit organisations it is particularly important that as much funding as possible is directed towards their core purpose. For this reason, we offer reduced rates to clients within this sector.
