We understand the unique challenges of this sector
At BC&A, we've spent years supporting charities and CICs across Portsmouth, Hampshire and the wider South of England. We work with small community groups run entirely by volunteers, large registered charities with multi-million-pound income, and everything in between.
Whatever the size, the goal is always the same — to give trustees and directors the confidence that their financial records are accurate, compliant and ready to stand up to scrutiny, so they can focus on the work that actually matters.
Our approach is collaborative and practical. We don't speak in accountancy jargon, we don't disappear between year ends, and we don't treat your organisation like a corporate client. We treat it like what it is, a mission-led organisation where every cost matters and every donor deserves transparency
How we support Charities & CICs
From independent examinations to full statutory audits, from SORP-compliant accounts to Gift Aid reclaims, we provide the full spectrum of financial services the third sector needs. Our specialist team understands both the legal requirements and the practical realities of running a mission-led organisation, and we tailor our support to the size and complexity of your charity.
