Not-for-profit organisations

Have financial statements been properly prepared? Has association law or foundation law and the necessary decrees been observed? Have all the recent tax authorities’ interpretations been taken into account relating for example to non-profit making status or value added tax? Has the association or the foundation acted according to its charter and have the received guidelines been followed?

In addition to the other daily routines people working in financial administration related tasks, the management and the board of directors of the association or the foundation are faced with these above mentioned issues. Our experts deal with these issues in their daily work. In close cooperation with our clients we ensure that all the necessary laws, regulations and guidelines are been observed. Using the expert assistance in time ensures that often costly mistakes are avoided. It also helps to focus resources to the continuous operation of the organization and to the strengthening of the core competencies of the personnel.

We aim to build long-term relationships to our clients, which are based on confidence. Our external auditors’ as well as our other experts’ goal is to maintain close communication with the management of the association and the foundation in good and in challenging times.

Our approach to client relationships differs from what is commonly used. Confidentiality and easy well functioning communication with our clients are essential for us. The partner in charge of the assignment ensures that your organization has connection to all the services we offer.

Our personnel have diverse experience providing services to associations and foundations.
