Community and Not-for-Profit Organisations

Community organisations and not-for-profit entities in the Australian marketplace provide much needed services and support for a broad range of community priorities including entities of all sizes across several sectors.

Increasing demand, stakeholder expectations and regulatory and reporting requirements means that organisations in this sector face a multitude of challenges in their operating environments.

Through our comprehensive understanding of taxation legislation and accounting standards, we are able to provide the advice and guidance that these organisations require to operate in today’s marketplace.

• Foundations 
• Independent schools 
• Performing arts organisations 
• Religious organisations 
• Aid and development agencies 
• Environment organisations 
• Sporting bodies

Our services cover the broad spectrum of accounting, audit and advisory needs for the community and not-for-profit sector. In addition to expertise in taxation and structuring, we also assist with government funding applications, grant accountability requirements, strategic planning, corporate governance, change management, risk management and financial advice.
