A free service to connect accountants who want to volunteer with charities that need help from financial experts has been launched by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and the Chartered Accountants' Benevolent Association.
The website, www.icaewvolunteers.com, allows not-for-profit organisations, including charities, social enterprises and schools, to post an unlimited number of roles for free.
Volunteers will also be able to post profiles for charities to view. The website is free for anyone to use.
Nick Brooks, chair of the ICAEW’s charity and voluntary sector group, said that accountants working in the sector repeatedly encountered charitable organisations that struggled to find people with skills in business and finance, and that a way was needed to unite the two groups.
