Not for Profit - Forvis Mazars

Our approach

We understand the role that not-for-profit organisations and associations play in society. That is why it is important that you receive the right advice and guidance so you can maintain your tax reliefs and exemptions, as well as secure income streams and achieve operational efficiency to secure your future.

At Forvis Mazars, our not-for-profit group is a team of experienced professionals who are experienced with the unique challenges you face. Offering a range of audit, tax and advisory services, we are committed to helping you overcome the obstacles you face and to developing a robust and sustainable operating model.

The not-for-profit sector is defined by its diversity, which means every organisation has specific requirements. We work with a broad spectrum of not-for-profit groups, such as charities, educational institutions, housing associations, religious organisations, health care providers and private foundations. You may be a small, neighbourhood not for profit or a large, complex organisation. Regardless of size, we can provide you with solutions that are the right fit for your circumstances, rather than provide you with a one-size-fits-all approach.
