Charities

Irrespective of your financial or governance needs, our knowledge and expertise will help you to fulfil your objectives and maximise the benefit of your charity for its beneficiaries.

Hazlewoods Charities team provides a wide range of services to over thirty charitable bodies, ranging from small, grant-making trusts to well-known local and national charities. All members of our team – many of whom act as trustees – fully understand the special needs of this sector and make a point of getting to know each charity client.

We aim to become your confidants as well as trusted advisers, combining professional objectivity with a commitment to long-term relationships. Team members are always on hand to act as informal sounding boards.

As well as acting as trustees, many of our advisers have experience as accountants or managers within the not-for-profit sector. This valuable experience helps them to understand your unique issues from your perspective, enabling them to provide focused and relevant accounting, planning and other services.

Whenever you seek our advice you can be sure it will always be expert, relevant and up to date. For a full range of services provided and to see the team please see below.
