Establishing and managing a successful and compliant Not-For-Profit organisation requires the support and continued guidance of a trusted partner. The team at Platform Advisors has a proven track record in providing accounting advice and assistance to the not-for-profit sector with our Founding Director, Glenn Scott, holding key positions with several local, national and international charities.

Charities play an essential role in the Australian community and are entitled to a range of benefits and taxation concessions because of their contribution to the public good. Usually, a prerequisite to accessing these benefits is a determination that an entity is indeed a ‘charity’.

The Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission (ACNC) acts as the independent national regulator of charities for Commonwealth purposes. One of the principal roles of the ACNC is to provide a register of charities. Registered charities have significant ongoing obligations to the ACNC, including keeping their information on the Register up-to-date.

Platform Advisors offers a full and comprehensive range of services to the not-for-profit sector. Our expertise and knowledge can be brought to bear in dealing effectively with regulation and compliance matters set out by the ACNC.

We can partner with you. We have first-hand knowledge in the sector and understand the challenges that you face.

Whether it be working closely to help navigate the many complex decisions associated with correctly instituting a charity at the outset or ensuring that an existing charity has in place effective strategies for ongoing management and growth.
