Sector-wide experience
Zero HMRC penalties
Clear, donor-ready reports
Running a charitable organisation, not-for-profit business, or social enterprise? The sector’s evolving regulations—from the Charities Commission to complex fundraising compliance—can drain your resources. At Sigma Chartered Accountants & Tax Advisors, we take the burden off your shoulders. Our tailored accounting solutions ensure you meet every standard efficiently so you can focus on what truly matters: your mission.
We don’t just manage your finances—we optimise, protect, and empower your charity’s mission. Here’s exactly how we do it
Your dedicated CPA creates a 12-month action plan covering filings (Charities Commission, HMRC), Gift Aid claims, and fund allocation.
We migrate your accounts to secure, real-time platforms (like Xero or QuickBooks) for seamless tracking of donations, grants, and expenses.
Monthly reviews of your cash flow, VAT position, and payroll to spot risks or opportunities—like unclaimed tax reliefs.
Our team implements automated fraud alerts and trains your staff on best practices to protect every penny.
We prepare plain-English financial summaries for stakeholders so they see transparency and impact, not spreadsheets.
Quarterly meetings to align your finances with long-term goals, like scaling programs or securing major grants.
Many non-profits waste time and funds navigating complex filings like Gift Aid claims, independent examiner’s reports, and trustees’ responsibilities—only to face avoidable penalties. At Sigma, our specialist charity accountants handle these intricacies for you, ensuring your non-profit accounts are audit-ready, tax-efficient, and fully aligned with your goals.
From setting up a charity with the right financial foundations to establishing reserves policies that protect your future, we go beyond number-crunching. Our team ensures your year-end processes—including tax compliance and governance reporting—are streamlined, accurate, and stress-free. Let’s turn accounting from a burden into a tool for growth.
Strategic advice on legal structures, efficient tax positioning, and long-term financial sustainability to maximise your resources.
Custom cloud-based systems that automate reporting while maintaining rigorous SORP-compliant records for complete transparency.
From registration to complex partial exemption calculations, we ensure optimal VAT recovery and full HMRC compliance.
Our team includes qualified charity finance experts who live and breathe SORP, Gift Aid, and non-profit governance—not just "accountants who sometimes work with charities."
We don’t just file your taxes; we audit every line item to identify savings (average £34k/year for clients) and structure growth strategies for higher retainable profits.
From automated Gift Aid claims to real-time donor reporting dashboards, we give you enterprise-grade tools at accessible rates.
