Charity Begins At The Accountants

Issue 50

When it comes to raising money for charity, there are not many accountants that go the extra mile where the managing director of the company takes the lead in the fund-raising stakes.

Setting the best possible example, is the managing director of KP Simpson Certified Accountants, Andrew Potts who takes raising money for good causes to the next level.

On the Board of Trustees of the Chloe & Liam Together Forever Charity, Andrew often raises funds for this worthwhile charity, as well as other regional fundraisers in the area. The charity was born as a result of the Manchester Arena bombing, where the courting couple sadly lost their lives.

Having recently run 22 miles for the charity and raising over £1500 in the process, the accountancy boss also encouraged his staff to have an openday at their offices in Jarrow and contribute their own goodies for people to win or buy on the day.

The accountancy practice also proudly sponsors the local cricket team, Whiteleas Cricket Club by buying their kit for them and regularly fundraising and supporting their events.

Although the accountancy practice does as much as it can for the regions’ charities, it takes its accountancy work very seriously and has recently reached the final in the North East Accountancy Awards 2019.

Andrew told us: “It’s always a pleasure to raise funds for local causes, and I believe that charity really does begin at home, so for the whole team at KP Simpson to get behind the worthwhile causes that we support is great team-work.”
