At Smith Cooper, we are experts with regard to the charities and not-for-profit sector.

We appreciate the passion that drives these organisations and the dedication that it takes to make them succeed.


It is undoubtedly a challenging sector, with constant changes and uncertainty in the funding environment, complex and vast regulation, and often a competitive marketplace. But this is where we can help.

Offering a dedicated, partner-led team of experts, we take the time to fully understand your organisation and your aspirations, devising and providing bespoke advice on how to achieve your goals and navigating you through the complex web of regulation.

We have a strong team of compliance experts who are experienced in performing audits and independent examinations of charities reporting under the Charities SORP, community benefit societies and companies limited by guarantee. As well as our specifically trained accountants and auditors, our team includes specialists who understand the more complex tax challenges that the sector faces in relation to VAT, including partial exemption and corporation tax.

We help a range of charities, varying in size and nature from the very small to more complex groups of entities.
