Our Trade Union Group works very closely with our clients, holding regular meetings and playing a significant role in assisting them in improving their financial management.

In particular both our training department and business advisory partners have played an important role in providing user friendly hands on financial awareness training for both permanent staff and lay members. This training has fundamentally improved all aspects of the financial information prepared by the Trade Unions.

In addition to the standard compliance services provided by other top 20 firms, we offer a broader range of services to our trade union clients, in particular training. The ever-increasing need to invest in your staff means that ‘hands on bespoke financial training’ is the key to transforming efficiency and effectiveness in your finance department.

We believe that we offer an additional extra dimension, by always being available and willing to go that extra mile to ensure that we deliver the quality of service our clients expect.

“The merger of Hard Dowdy with the Trade Union division at Chantrey Vellacott DFK added a new dimension to the quality and range of services that they provided. The new team has succeeded in satisfying our demands from a firm of professional advisors. They now provide all of the services that we would expect from a top accountancy firm.

They are also auditors to our pension schemes.
In addition they have assisted me with an outsourcing review, overseen us purchasing a stake in a new venture and provided a solution to outsource the processing of taxable payments that are made at branch level.

We are very happy with the personnel and services provided.”
