Andy discusses the firm’s specialist focus in more detail and outlines how this benefits the firm’s valued clients. “Focusing only on not for profit entities means that at Andy Nash Accounting and Consultancy we understand the sector, and any staff or consultants we use must have a similar focus on the sector, as we believe this is essential to enable us to provide the high-level quality that all our clients deserve. “Unlike other accountancy firms not specialised in this sector, we see our clients as far more than just an important asset - they are part of the family. We want to get to know them and find out how their organisation works. The better we know our client, the better job we can do. As a result, each contract is tailored to the client, ensuring that it meets their needs at a price they can afford.” Having held senior management and trustee roles in various charities, Andy has personal experience of the not-for-profit space and understands the sector and the unique challenges facing his clients. As such, he understands the importance of his firm remaining ahead of market developments. He explores how the company achieves this and provides its clients with industry-leading insight, information and advice that cannot be found elsewhere. “In today’s accountancy market, tax for charities is a complex topic, and one which is often overlooked. By specialising and only working in this sector we know it inside out and are able to see issues before they arise, something many in the sector don’t understand. We take a proactive approach and set up systems which ensure charities know in advance if new activities, especially on an income generation front, are going to result in the charity falling on the wrong side of VAT or corporation tax regulations. “As part of our focus on providing our clients with expert support and service, we work hard to remain at the forefront of emerging market developments. With ongoing changes to the charity SORP and other regulations we are constantly exploring the latest regulations to ensure Company: Andy Nash Accounting and Consultancy Name: Andy Nash Address: The Maltings, East Tyndall Street, Cardiff, CF24 5EA Telephone: 02920 351475 Web Address: www.andynashac.com Andy Nash Accounting and Consultancy that our information is always ahead of the curve.
