Our charity team in Kent, based in our Sittingbourne office, and headed by Allan Hickie have specialist knowledge of this diverse sector, derived from many years’ experience of dealing with the various financial aspects related to the sector.
Our clients cover such activities as schools and Academies, and churches. We also act for several Age Concern charities based in Kent, and other charities working in the care and service sector.
We understand the issues and regulations that charities face and have in-depth experience and knowledge to help deal with this. We act as auditors and independent examiners to a charities of varying sizes, and provide assistance with compliance matters, including the preparation of accounts and trustees’ reports that comply with the Charities Act and Charities SORP.
We can also assist with audits for grant and funding applications, provide VAT and tax advice, and assist with setting up a charity and obtaining charitable status.

Plans to cap income tax reliefs to £50,000 or 25% of income from April 2013 announced in today’s Budget cast a huge shadow over charitable giving in the UK.
