Hear from some of our charity clients:

Compass have always accommodated our deadlines for accounts and audits and respond to queries quickly- they consistently take both a professional and pragmatic approach. I really appreciate that I can call Compass with a query and speak to someone who understands and has knowledge of our organisation.

Mrs Sue Wright, Head of Finance at The Mary Rose Trust

I was looking for an accountant that had a niche in working in the charity sector. Compass have been great. From the start, everything has been moved over to them with great ease and simplicity. When you are up against it, you don’t want to spend time working on the accounts, so Compass’ service works perfectly. Also, Compass’ prices are more reasonable than our last accountant- and they are very easy to speak to, very accommodating and nothing is too much hassle- I’m glad we chose Compass.

Garry Botterill, Co-founder of charity -Service Dogs UK

Compass Accountants came highly recommended by one of our trustees, and so when it was time to appoint a new accountant, they were our first choice. So far we have been very impressed. They have just completed our annual return which all ran very smoothly. In fact, it was a lot less stressful than last year!

Jim Bettley- the General Manager of The Blue Lamp Trust
