Audit & assurance, accountancy and taxation services for Trade Associations

At Barnes Roffe, we understand that there are some organisations which have goals that set them apart from others – the representation of the collective interest of the members in a particular industry. Each Trade Association is unique in their goals, and yours is no exception.

Our experience in this area is well known and we have provided services to a number of leading UK Trade Associations for many years, who know how Barnes Roffe are able to look after their particular needs.

We also understand the, sometimes, complex and diverse organisational structure of Trade Associations and the, sometimes, sensitive reporting framework they often have, whilst still getting the job done, with minimal disruption, in a cost effective manner, in order to meet pre-determined deadlines

At Barnes Roffe, we have recognised this and established a dedicated team of specialist staff that understand the needs and requirements of your Trade Association. We also understand the seven steps, which are essential in developing an effective Trade Association:

• Formulate and implement a Strategic Plan for a 3 – 5 year period
• Develop the internal structure to optimise the effectiveness of the working relationship between the Chief Executive and the council/committees
• Ensure that only the best calibre staff with talent and appropriate skills are employed and their training and development is constantly addressed
• Aim to be the ‘best in class’ in the use of IT and Internet
• Conduct regular benchmarking and other relevant surveys for members
• Provide annual Value for Money reports to members
• Adopt the best management practices in quality assurance and financial management and control

We understand the seven steps, and the detailed considerations and processes that lie behind each step. 

Above all, we understand the special needs of Trade Associations, and have an up-to-date awareness of matters affecting your type of organisation.

By assigning our specialist team at Barnes Roffe to your organisation, we can ensure that you receive practical and relevant advice, not only on your audit and accounting needs, but also on other matters that affect your organisation. 

We believe that we are ideally placed in that we are large enough to offer the full range of expertise, whilst also being able to guarantee to give each client a dedicated partner and manager team, who are easily and readily contactable.  This regular contact with the organisation will enable us to have the opportunity to provide new ideas and advice as circumstances change and events dictate.
