Later this week I have a meeting with a potential new client, which happens to be a charity. Does anyone have any advice as to what I should expect and what I should be aware of.
Off top of my head - Restricted funds. Possibility if VAT registered it could be apportioned on trading costs only. If you will be doing final accounts adhering to SORP, possibility/probabilityof filing with Charity Commission as well as Companies House.
I would also be aware that they often want to pay minimal fees. It can be difficult as they are a charity but the work involved is often just as, if not more, involved than a normal business.
