FOURTH SECTOR ORGANISATIONS

We support a wide variety of Fourth Sector organisations from more traditional co-operatives through to community interest companies, societies and benefit corporations. More and more, organisations and entrepreneurs are seeking ways to do good and make money at the same time.

We have been members of Co-Operatives UK since 2014 and have a team dedicated to providing bespoke advice to this rapidly growing sector of our economy.

Although the current legal and tax structures have been primarily designed for the traditional three sectors (for-profit, non-profit, and public), we are adept at navigating the existing framework to suit all shapes and sizes of for-benefit organisations. 

Alongside more traditional statutory reporting, we provide the following, together with assistance in navigating the reporting requirements

  • Auditors Reports under the Cooperative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (CCBSA)

  • Reporting Accountants Reports for Societies registered under the same act

  • Accounts for Community Interest Companies under the Companies Act 2006

  • Accounts for Community Benefit Societies under the CCBSA 2014

  • Accounts for Societies Registered under the CCBSA 2014 and Registered Providers of Social Housing under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008

  • Accounts for traditional Limited Companies with interests in sustainable land management, resource management or sustainable energy management

  • Accounts for traditional co-operatives (such as architects, therapy centres and village community shops) under the CCBSA 2014

  • Tax planning for group structures, especially where capital expenditure may be high

  • Annual reports for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

To scale the fourth sector and unleash the power of business to solve pressing social and environmental challenges at scale, there needs to be a massive effort to develop strong and cohesive supportive ecosystems that make it easier for for-benefit enterprises to thrive everywhere in the world.

Calls for major reform are being heard from all corners. The need to fundamentally upgrade our economic systems to meet today’s challenges is becoming increasingly apparent. This new mindset is shaping the way we look at enterprise.

More and more, organisations and entrepreneurs are seeking ways to do good and make money at the same time.
