Tailored accounting solutions for public sector entities
As a respected decision-maker in a public sector institution, you’ll know the vital role that these organisations play all across the UK, driving essential services from education to emergency services. When it comes to managing these complex finances, you’ll need a completely specialised approach.
Those in public sector entities will also know that governments, either local or central, and charities do not operate in the same way as corporations and private sector entities, and they have vastly different responsibilities. Usually, those in the public sector are not too concerned with standard financial accounting issues or issues that are more relevant to private sector accounting, like profit margins. Instead, you will likely have plenty of money passing through your accounts that will need to be spent, saved, and invested accordingly.
Here at Williamson & Croft, our public sector accounting services are customised to meet your exact needs. We’ll help you to maintain complete transparency, ensure regulatory compliance, and optimise resource allocation so that you can focus on delivering exceptional public services.

Investment and public sector development: How can we help?
We’re very familiar with the challenges faced by those in the public sector, such as economic pressures, cuts in funding, and the constant need to ensure value for money is achieved.
Our public finance professionals can help you overcome these obstacles by ensuring you receive practical and specialist guidance at every step of the way. Here’s what we support with:
Our audit team has extensive experience in providing efficient, partner-led and client-focused external audit services to companies owned and operated for the benefit of public sector bodies, whether these are research companies, property investment/development, or other special-purpose entities. We’ll ensure compliance is achieved and maintained with all regulatory requirements, whilst keeping quality and innovation at the heart of our service to provide additional value to our clients.
In all business decisions, you want to be confident that the route you are taking is as risk-free as possible. Our detailed due diligence investigations provide reassurance by identifying potential risks or issues in advance of a transaction and then providing practical recommendations to mitigate those risks. We have experience in dealing with the requirements of all key stakeholders in public sector investment in property or companies and in proposed mergers.
It is important for public sector bodies to protect their funding and the monies of the parties that they serve by minimising any tax burden through legitimate tax planning – this is crucial for maintaining trust. This may involve undertaking an acquisition of an entity or property in a specific way or in claiming available tax reliefs or tax credits, and our expert tax team can advise on all areas of corporation tax, VAT and SDLT and how they impact the public sector.
