Audit & Accountancy

Fairhurst have built an enviable reputation within the North West Business community for Accountancy and Audit services.

Managed by our partners and dedicated teams, not only will we help you meet the statutory requirements but also take the opportunity to conduct a review of your financial and management systems. This can often result in identifying potential problem areas and recommending opportunities to improve your businesses performance.

We are able to document and test accounting systems, including authorisation and controls procedures, and report any findings and possible improvements to the management team. We discuss the problems and opportunities with you and help you implement any agreed solutions.

We see the preparation of your annual report as an opportunity to enhance your external image. A well-prepared report can have a positive impact on the perceptions of investors, potential finance sources, customers, referral sources, and even your own staff – all of which greatly improves your business prospects for the future.

  • Preparation of Annual accounts
  • Key Performance Indicators and Benchmarking
  • Audit services

Case Studies

Wigan Churches’ Association

Wigan Churches’ Association is one of the largest charities in the borough of Wigan. After numerous years of using one accountancy package they recently changed to another and Fairhurst supported the charity through this difficult transition. Their annual audit and accounts preparation is also done by Fairhurst.

“We find Gary’s team friendly, efficient and focused on the work that needs to be done. Not only do we act on the positive feedback given, but as a charity it allows us to be seen using the funds entrusted for the purpose they were designated for.”

“The work that Fairhurst does reflects positively on this organisation and the service it provides. I would really recommend this company, not only for the service that you can imagine them to offer, but also the multitude of other financial services they can help with. I look forward to a long, professional working relationship with this company.”

Stuart Parsons, Chief Officer
