not for profit

our award winning Charities Team is one of the largest in the UK

With over 550 clients representing 35% of haysmacintyre's turnover, charities are very important to us and an area in which we invest heavily.

Our Team is led by eight audit partners, two tax and VAT partners and over 60 audit staff. This means we have the resources, expertise and commitment to deliver what we promise.

Reputation for client care and awards we have won
The Team has been independently voted the best overall provider of "Charity Audit Services" for the last three years by readers of leading third sector magazine, Charity Finance.

We are delighted that more than 100 of our charity audit clients participate in this independent client care survey every year. 


The Team also won the Charity Times Award for "best accountancy services" in September 2009.

Emergency Budget June 2010 - Charities

The budget again included little specific detail of changes targeted at charities but did include some promising news on the substantial donor legislation. The main points of potential interest are outlined below but by far the biggest and most costly change for many charities will be the increase in the rate of VAT.

Emergency Budget June 2010

The Chancellor delivered his first Budget calling it a "Progressive Budget, tough but fair." His target was to reduce the current structural deficit which he intended to do by a mixture of spending cuts and tax rises. Many of these changes had been leaked to the press beforehand, no doubt in an effort to manage expectations. 

We have also produced an Emergency Budget Summary with issues concerning charities and the not for profit sector. Please click here to read.

It may also impact on the vatable status of a supply.
