Davies Mayers Barnett has a thriving not for profit department providing charities and not for profits with compliance services and VAT related advice.

Current clients are wide ranging both in terms of size and type and cover organisations within education, the environment, healthcare and the arts.

We also act for a number of local Independent Schools and a growing list of Academy Schools in the area.

Academy Schools

We have developed a portfolio of schools which have achieved their Academy Status and for many schools this is brand new territory.

An important part of our role therefore is to advise and guide the Academies on their compliance responsibilities and essentially help them through the transition period ensuring that the correct accounting arrangements are put in place and maintained.

Examples of services we provide to our Academy School clients include:-

  • Assistance with drafting financial statements to ensure compliance with relevant rules
  • Assistance and advice regarding trading limits and use of subsidiaries
  • Health check on current systems in place to ensure they are adequate for the new format
  • Annual audit of the teachers pension scheme
  • PAYE audits
  • Gift aid advisory
