Proud to be ranked #1 for Charity Expertise in the 2023 Charity Finance Audit Survey and Advisory Firm Of The Year in the Business Leader Awards 2024

Godfrey Wilson is a firm of accountants, auditors and consultants. We are primarily charity specialists, but also work with a variety of commercial clients.

We provide all the usual services – accounts, audit, payroll and tax – but we believe it’s the extras that make the difference. Like speaking plain English instead of using technical jargon. And empowering our clients to find their own solutions, rather than being dependent on us. And working within strict ethical and environmental principles.

We’re friendly and approachable, and always at the end of the phone to answer your questions.

In fact, we’ll help you in whatever way we can – just ask.

Kind words

The team at Godfrey Wilson are responsive and friendly. They are experts in their field and are always on hand to offer advice. The service they provide is first class and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Gloucestershire Counselling Service

We are always comforted by the level of attention we get from Godfrey Wilson. They always lend a critical eye, with an ability to separate important and necessary issues from being pedantic. It has been a positive experience to work with Godfrey Wilson, the audit work has felt supported as well as thorough.

BS3 Community Development

Since being with Godfrey Wilson I have found the service exceptional. The staff are friendly, efficient and approachable. Also, as someone that’s not terribly knowledgeable about books and accounting and HMRC I have felt able to ask questions without hesitation.

JMH Creative

Impressive balance of professional and approachable - a perfect combination!

Acta Community Theatre

Godfrey Wilson provides us with an excellent service. The staff are knowledgeable and responsive. We love their professional service which is also excellent value for money, which as a charity we deeply appreciate.

Tree Sisters

Godfrey Wilson are an absolutely lovely company to work with. Your staff really know their stuff and are diligent, attentive and responsive. Alongside that you've got a great ethos, understand our sector and are all lovely people with hearts and a human approach to doing business. Who imagined that accountancy could bring such love to the world.

Windmill Hill City Farm

Professional, personable and supportive approach with a complete grasp of our specialist sector - which is rare.

Alison is amazingly knowledgeable and really understands the charitable sector, both in text book knowledge but more importantly in real life implementations to ensure compliance.

Life Cycle UK

Alison and the team have been indispensable in offering advice specifically relevant to our status as a small charity. Everyone we have liaised with at Godfrey Wilson over the years has been professional, approachable and efficient, which has relieved any potential stress surrounding the audit. Thank you!

Young Classical Artists Trust

We found the Godfrey Wilson team to be professional, knowledgeable, approachable and pragmatic - a great partner for our charity.

Hope For Children

Godfrey Wilson manage to do something special - they are great accountants, clear, relevant, well informed and particular, but they avoid the stuffiness or stiffness that I have encountered with some other accountants previously. It means that dealing with them is a pleasure.

Arturi Films

Godfrey Wilson Ltd manages to balance an approachable and relatively informal style with a rigorous and professional service.

Rural Media Charity

We never get anything other than top class service from your company. Nothing is ever too much trouble and no questions are ever treated as stupid. You are always very quick at answering queries and sending any information we request. Would always recommend you to other companies and people.

St Werburghs City Farm

I found Godfrey Wilson highly professional and efficient in all my dealings with them. They also offer excellent value for money and would highly recommend them to other charities.

Headway Somerset

Their approach is transparent, friendly, but always extremely professional and very knowledgeable. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Sight Research UK

An excellent company to work with, with partners and staff that are available, approachable and deliver on time.

Max Carey Woodturning Trust

Last year was our first working with Godfrey Wilson, and it was a breath of fresh air after the last firm with whom we worked. Rob was always extremely helpful, quick to respond, and patient when we had issues or questions.

Globalteer

Godfrey Wilson is an excellent company - friendly, efficient and highly competent are words which can be applied to everyone in the business. Rob and Alison have done a fantastic job in building a great team, which they lead with great experience and skill.

You are lovely people and I love working with you, both as a business and individual. I recommend you regularly and always rave about how good you are. You understand ethical and environmental organisations deeply, always providing excellent advice and service, and you are great fun to work with!

James Wallace

Your support is a key part of who we are and we wouldn't be able to help so many vulnerable young people without you. Thanks!

Youth Adventure Trust

We get fantastic support and service from their team. Their work is done to a very high professional standard and to deadlines, and their relationship management is excellent. They are always willing to explain things, and as a result we have a much better understanding now of our accounting data. I can't believe we get such a good service for the fee they charge.
