Accounting firm Price Bailey comes out on top for the charities sector

Price Bailey is listed in the Top 3 for Overall Service and Charity Expertise in The Charity Finance audit survey 2023.

The audit survey included responses from almost 650 charities, who rated several firms on their charity expertise, corporate social responsibility, technical compliance and overall service, among other criteria.

The listing comes towards the end of a successful year for the firm, following an “outstanding” recognition by Best Companies in June 2023, where the firm received a 2-star accreditation for its exceptional commitment to employee engagement.

Price Bailey was also acknowledged as one of the top 50 Best Companies to Work For in the East of England and London and one of the top 75 Best Large Companies to Work For in the UK.

In the same year, the firm finished 20th in the Apprenticeships Top 100 Employers league table, and received the Workforce Developer award at the 2023 Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards, recognising the “best of British business”.

2023 also marked the highest intake of trainee recruits for Price Bailey, with 39 new trainees joining the firm and brought the return of the firm’s annual in-person charity day following the pandemic.

The charity event, which was held in October, involved all four of the UK offices, with charitable activates including car washes, treasure hunts and a firm wide quiz, taking place across London, Norwich, Sawston and Bishop Stortford.
