Our not-for-profit group, led by Cara Turtington, advises over 400 charities and other not-for-profit entities in the UK on tax, VAT and accounting issues, and provides a risk-based audit for many.

We have a national team of charity and not-for-profit specialists operating from nine offices around the UK, helping our clients to thrive by consistently providing expert, pragmatic and well-rounded advice.

Our clients range from new start-up charities to centuries-old livery companies, from clubs and membership organisations to social enterprises, from independent schools and academies to service delivery charities, from grant-givers and endowed foundations to theatres and cultural organisations.

We invest time in getting to know our clients, so that we can provide a genuinely tailored and partner led service.

Our team is extensively involved in the sector:

  • As specialist advisers and auditors
  • As members of the Charity Finance Group, Charity Tax Group and ICAEW Charity Committee
  • As trustees themselves

What our clients say

We have been a client of Saffery for over five years. We find their advice first rate, provided by friendly approachable staff.

Client listening programme 2024

The audit process is thorough and rigorous, but the feel is very human... There is a collaborative feel which can often feel missing with other firms. I do not worry about ringing to discuss things throughout the year, as I know I will get a helpful but pragmatic response.

The team always takes a pragmatic and value-add approach to our audit, led expertly by Jonathan Davis.
