"We regularly hear about charities being charged a lot by non-specialists. Our only focus is you."
Who we are
Since 1996, we've dedicated ourselves entirely to the charity sector. No distractions, no commercial clients — just a deep, specialist understanding of what charities need to close their year end confidently.
What we do
Every service we offer is designed around the unique requirements of UK charities.
Our core specialism for 30 years. We examine your accounts against the Charities SORP and all regulatory requirements, giving trustees full confidence.
We compile your year-end accounts from your trial balance and supporting data, handling the presentation and formatting so you don't have to.
Stay ahead of Charity Commission requirements. We ensure your accounts meet the latest reporting standards for your income threshold and charity type.
Not sure what you need? We're always happy to advise trustees on what's required, what to prepare, and what to expect from the examination process.
Moving from another examiner or accountant is straightforward with us. We handle the handover and make the transition seamless for your charity.
Income of less than £25,000? Many smaller charities find it difficult to meet the cost of fully compliant accounts. For various reasons you may still want to put together annual accounts, especially when submitting funding applications. We can help!
Ready to simplify your year end?
We'll respond promptly with a clear, fixed fee tailored to your charity's size and circumstances. It really is that straightforward.

What charities say
I have used Independent Examiners since 2014 and have always found them to be professional, helpful, time sensitive when required. Over the years I have dealt with many different people and all are as lovely as one another. Thank you team, especially for your kindness and patience with me each year.
We have utilised the services of Independent Examiners for the last two years and will be utilising their services for our forthcoming year. From enlisting their support, the process has been extremely smooth and very comprehensive, and always completed within the time frame agreed. Nothing is too much bother from any of the staff and will always assist if you have any queries. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.
I have found the whole experience of engaging with the IEL team a refreshingly straightforward process and have had no hesitation in recommending their appointment to be our Independent Examiners for our 2026 Report and Financial Statements.
