Home Computer Initiative, which is described under
‘Purchasing
Policies’
As members of the AVN network of accountants, we
are a part of the National Campaign (http://www.thenationalcampaign.co.uk),
whereby members have committed themselves to giving
away £20 million pounds worth of professional
services to UK business and the voluntary sector,
in the form of discounted professional services. Many
services that we provide will reflect a discount representing
our contribution to the National Campaign.
As with all our services, our fees are highly competitive.
Our offices are set in a rural location, and therefore
we have low premises overheads. This means that we
are able to offer the highest quality services, very
often at the lowest price.
Publications (see our publication
section)
In some of the areas above, we provide the services
ourselves – in others, we have a panel of experts
in particular specialisms and geographical areas that
enables us to provide a holistic approach to the governance
of charities, so that we can be ‘the one stop
shop’.
