Award-winning charity accountants, Godfrey Wilson, joins Gravita
Gravita is proud to welcome this exceptional team alongside a remarkable portfolio of more than 600 charities and organisations, bolstering our presence in the South West and strengthening expertise in the not for profit sector.
20 years ago, Godfrey Wilson was founded by a small team in Bristol, with a huge passion for supporting charities, and providing clients with a full service offering under one roof, delivered through a hands-on, personalised approach. Two decades later, the firm has grown significantly, purely by reputation, with hundreds of charities, not for profits and entrepreneurial businesses trusting their accountancy expertise. Ranked in the top three firms nationally for both Charity Expertise and Overall Service in the Civil Society’s Charity Finance Audit Survey, for the last three consecutive years, the Godfrey Wilson team has an exceptional track record in the not for profit sector. According to their annual client engagement survey, 99% of their client base would recommend the firm to other charities and organisations – testament to the skills, dedication and excellent client service of the team.
This is an exciting new chapter in Gravita’s own growth journey, bringing the size of the Bristol team to over 75 professionals, and complementing and strengthening Gravita’s specialist charities team. Gravita has an impressive and growing client base of over 800 clients across charities, not for profits and education. Bringing our firms and charity experts together, with over 1,100 clients in this space, presents a compelling offer to the charity sector and places Gravita as one of the leading charity experts in the country.
Godfrey Wilson colleagues have moved to Gravita’s Bristol office, so we can work together, as one. Together this team of talented professionals, who share such a strong affinity for building close client relationships, position Gravita perfectly as the leading accountancy firm in the South West, supporting ambitious businesses, charities and private individuals.
I’m delighted to welcome our new colleagues to Gravita as we continue on our mission to become a Top 25 national accountancy and advisory firm. Growth for us is about finding partners who share our culture and values. In Godfrey Wilson, we’ve found a team that is both technically brilliant and deeply embedded in the South West community. By welcoming all of their talented specialists into our firm, we further strengthen our presence in Bristol and ensure that the region’s not for profit and commercial clients benefit from local expertise backed by our people first, AI-enabled approach to accountancy. At a particularly challenging time for charities, our culture of innovation and care for clients and colleagues alike ensures we remain the definitive partner for the not for profit sector.
We have always maintained a vision to provide expert and specialised services to charities and commercial clients in an accessible way. This was underpinned by strong ethical and environmental values, and a commitment to champion charities at every opportunity. Joining Gravita allows us to scale that vision and offer our clients a more sophisticated service. This partnership adds vital breadth to our offering, introducing specialist VAT and tax services alongside our core audit and accountancy expertise.
