Reliable Charity Accountancy Support
Charities, not-for-profit organisations, and social enterprises make an incredible contribution to society, and Streets has been proud to support them for decades. Our specialist charity team acts for a diverse range of third sector organisations, providing expert accountancy, audit, tax and strategic advice.
We understand that, while charities share many challenges with commercial businesses, they must also meet complex regulatory requirements, satisfy a wide range of stakeholders, and manage resources carefully to achieve their mission. We’re here to help you stay compliant, sustainable, and successful.
Whether you are a small local charity, a national not-for-profit, a community interest company (CIC) or a multi-academy trust (MAT), our team brings practical insight, sector expertise, and a genuine passion for your cause.
