About us
We are a not-for-profit firm of accountants and technical advisors, built on kingdom values, dedicated to making a difference. Our vision is to see finance and accountancy used for good – to see a generation of accountants and technical practitioners working to release the potential of good organisations, good causes, and good ideas. We want to challenge the long-established narrative in the accountancy world that work is only worth doing for a profit – we see a value in our work that goes far beyond the fee that we earn. We do this by providing the highest quality financial and technical support - for any good cause that needs it - at a cost they can afford. We provide a range of services to our clients, ranging from bookkeeping, management accounting and tax advice through to data analysis, systems audit, and process automation. If you have a technical skillset and a heart to see good causes released to achieve their full potential, we would love to hear from you!
