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.
