We act as accountants and business advisors for a number of charities across Lancashire and Cumbria. RfM is committed to supporting and guiding non-profit organisations to define and achieve their business goals.
We understand that, as a charity, you must operate with transparency, trust and for the public benefit. We also know that operating as a charity is not easy, with so many regulations that must be followed.
