Supporting your Charity or Not for Profit organisation in financial matters.

At Thomas Westcott we understand the often drastically different financial framework you operate within. This, coupled with a higher level of public scrutiny when compared with other businesses, means transparency with regards to financial affairs is regularly a top concern with our charity and NPO clients.

With specialist team members that hold the prestigious Diploma in Charity Accounting qualification, we can fulfil your statutory needs in your specialist sector and also have the technical expertise to support your enterprise in areas you may not be as familiar with.

As part of our service to the Charity and Not for Profit sector, we provide a free seminar for Charity Trustees in November each year, along with our free regular Charity Newsletter. We also provide workshops on topical issues for trustees to improve their understanding of their responsibilities.

For more information on these matters please contact Steve Cresswell who is head of our Charities team and based in North Devon or Sarah Watts who is based in Exeter and Okehampton offices.
