Consultancy Overview

Charity Business consultancy services can cover a variety of areas from reviewing and improving aspects of financial management, developing strategic plans to assessing the skill base of your management and Trustees.

As Approved Consultants for NCVO our team of consultants have a depth and breadth of expertise and experience in both the private and voluntary sectors which enables them to think outside the box to come up with effective solutions. Often a fresh pair of eyes can offer charity management teams a different outlook and we produce reports which not only suggest solutions but help to implement change to ensure that the charity will work better in the future.

Our most common consultancy solutions include internal audit and strategic financial planning. Internal audit involves reviewing high risk areas to determine what works well and where adjustments can be made to improve the efficiency of the organisation. This may cover a number of different areas across a period of time or may involve a short high level review of the entire operation. Either way, the production of focused reports will help focus the way forward.

Internal audit or a business process review can help you to analyse where systems and processes could be altered and improved in order for you to achieve more, with enhanced quality and more rapidly.

Strategic financial planning ranges from working through specific project or service plans to reviewing the overall financial strategy of the charity over the next 3 to 5 years. Looking forward enables performance management objectives and KPI’s to be put in place to ensure that the charity is working towards a sustainable future rather than short term budget goals.

In addition, we often take on more bespoke consultancy projects, create and undertake training programmes or will be able to signpost you to someone that can help if we cannot offer you the best service possible.
