Specialist advisers who understand the third sector, and foster the trust it runs on.

Charities carry a level of accountability that most organisations never face. Every pound answers to donors, funders, beneficiaries and the wider public, and the scrutiny attached to that responsibility keeps growing. Trustees and finance teams need advisers who understand the sector in real depth and can apply that understanding to the specific pressures a charity faces.

Wbg has supported charities and not-for-profits for many years, from the smallest community groups through to national organisations. We bring abundant third sector knowledge and combine it with the capability of a full-service firm, giving you compliance you can depend on alongside the insight to make confident decisions.

how we help charities

Charity Audit Services

For larger charities, or those that want the stronger assurance a full audit provides, we deliver an external audit grounded in the realities of the third sector.

Independent Examination of Scottish Charity Accounts

Charities under the audit threshold can meet their obligations through a lighter-touch review that keeps costs down while still demonstrating accountability.

Charity Grant Accounting Services

Grant funding comes with a duty to show it was used as intended. We handle the reporting and certification that keeps those relationships strong and protects the funding you rely on.

Charity Payroll Services

Charity payroll brings its own complications, from pension auto-enrolment to the treatment of volunteers and casual staff. Our specialist payroll team manages it accurately and on time, with a real person on hand when you need support.

Charity Accounting Courses & Training

Confident finance teams and trustees make stronger charities. Our training turns charity finance and governance into something your people can understand and act on.

What our clients say

“The support and guidance ACCORD receives from the Wbg team is exceptional – they fully understand, and often pre-empt, some of the reporting issues we are likely to face in the charity sector every year and work very closely with us throughout the year.

They are always available and approachable if we have any concerns or questions. We have now been working closely with them for 10 years and that, more than anything, tells the story.

Moving to Wbg was one of the best things we have ever done. We would absolutely recommend the Wbg Charity team to anyone in the sector!”
