Could an apprentice be your next great hire? 🎓

At Griffin, apprenticeships have played an important part in our growth story - and we’ve seen first-hand the value they can bring to both the individual and the business. For us, it’s a genuine win-win.

🌱 Young people get the opportunity to earn, learn, gain professional qualifications and build a meaningful career.

📈 As a business, we get to invest in exceptional young talent, develop their skills and help them grow within the Griffin culture and way of working.
And that investment can create something really powerful.

People join at the beginning of their careers, learn and develop, progress into more senior roles - and eventually begin supporting and developing the next generation coming through behind them.

Recruit → Learn → Develop → Progress → Lead → Mentor → Repeat 🔄

From 1 October 2026, there’s another reason for businesses to explore apprenticeships too.

Eligible non-levy-paying employers in England may be able to receive a £2,000 hiring payment when recruiting a qualifying new apprentice aged 16-24, subject to eligibility criteria.

But while the financial support matters, we believe the real value is much bigger.

It’s about creating opportunities, investing in people and developing the talent your business will need tomorrow.

As a B Corp, that matters to us. Building a successful business while having a positive impact on the people within it should go hand in hand💙

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more of Griffin’s own apprenticeship story - from welcoming the newest members of our team to celebrating some fantastic career journeys that started with an apprenticeship.

Because sometimes your next great hire could become one of your future leaders.

Could apprenticeships become part of your business growth story?

There’s a lot for charity leaders to navigate right now...

Changing regulation and reporting requirements. Financial pressures. Investment decisions. The opportunities - and questions - surrounding AI and the ongoing challenge of making sure your organisation’s story and impact are being communicated effectively.

No charity operates in isolation from these challenges.

That’s why, on Thursday 17th September, we’re bringing together charity leaders, trustees, finance professionals and experts from across the South West for the Griffin Charity Seminar 2026, in partnership with RBC Brewin Dolphin

Rather than focusing on just one issue, the morning is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and hear practical insight across several areas that matter to charities right now 💡

🎤 Charity SORP and reporting - Michael Jarrold , Griffin Chartered Accountants | B Corp™
📈 Investment updates for charities - Rowan Truscott, RBC Brewin Dolphin
🤖 Putting AI to work in your charity - Bradlei Davison, Optimising IT | B Corp™
📱 Social Media That Reflects Your Brand - James Court, Founder - Boost Your Business Network

Alongside the sessions, there’ll be plenty of opportunity to meet and connect with other people working across the charity sector.

📅 Thursday 17 September 2026
📍 Cullompton Community Centre

If you’re a charity CEO, trustee, finance professional or sector leader, we’d love to welcome you!

🐾 Happy National Dog Day from the Griffin team! 🐾

Today, we're celebrating three very important members of the Griffin family…Freya, Hugo and Amber! 🐶🐶🐶

Whether they're boosting office morale, supervising staff meetings, keeping an eye out for the sandwich van 👀🥪 or simply providing a welcome distraction from spreadsheets, they certainly know how to make the working day a little brighter.

They may not have mastered their accountancy qualifications just yet… but when it comes to team culture, they're definitely earning their keep😂

Here's to all the office dogs, home-working companions and four-legged colleagues out there today! 💙

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

⚠️ Charity Sector Risk Assessment 2026 - What should trustees be thinking about?

The Charity Commission’s latest Charity Sector Risk Assessment highlights some of the key challenges facing charities across England and Wales - and provides a timely prompt for trustees to review whether their organisations are prepared.

From financial pressures and governance to cyber security and safeguarding, the risk landscape continues to evolve,

🔎 Some of the key areas highlighted include,
💷 Financial resilience - Are cash flow, reserves and future funding regularly reviewed?
👥 Governance - Are trustees clear on their responsibilities, with effective oversight and decision-making in place?
🛡️ Safeguarding - Are policies, procedures and training up to date and appropriate?
💻 Cyber security & technology - Are systems protected against cyber threats, and are emerging technologies such as AI being introduced with the right controls?
📈 Reputation & public trust - Could operational, governance or external issues affect confidence in your charity?
🌍 External risks - How could economic, social, geopolitical or international factors impact your organisation?

The message for trustees is clear - risk management isn’t about eliminating every risk. It’s about understanding what could affect your charity and making sure you have proportionate plans and controls in place.

A good starting point? Take time at your next trustee meeting to review your risk register, financial resilience, governance arrangements, safeguarding and cyber security - and ask whether they still reflect the environment your charity is operating in today.

At Griffin, our specialist charity team works alongside charities to help strengthen financial resilience, governance and risk management.

If you’d like support reviewing your charity’s position, we’d be very happy to have a conversation.

Helping Our Clients Grow & Thrive 🌱

As part of our Certified B Corp series, we’re looking at the Clients pillar and something that has always been at the heart of Griffin - helping our clients grow, thrive and make an impact of their own. 🤝

We work alongside businesses, charities and academies at every stage of their journey, helping them navigate challenges, identify opportunities, make better decisions and plan confidently for the future. 📈

Because great accountancy should be about more than the numbers. It’s about understanding our clients, what they want to achieve and continually looking for ways we can add value and improve the support we provide.

That might mean supporting a business through its next stage of growth, helping a charity make the most of its resources, strengthening an academy’s financial management, or simply being there with proactive advice when it matters.

Client care is of paramount importance to us. We want our clients to know they have a team by their side who are approachable, responsive and genuinely invested in helping their organisation - and the people within it - succeed.

Our role might start with the numbers, but the real value comes from what we help our clients do with them.

Helping our clients grow and thrive. That’s the impact we want to make🚀

And to us, it just adds up.

💚 Griffin To Know You, Meet Maddie Darke.

At Griffin, we're fortunate to have a fantastic team of talented people - and our "Griffin To Know You" series is all about introducing some of the individuals who help make our firm what it is.

This month, we're getting to know Maddie, a valued member of our Audit team.

Maddie joined Griffin because of the friendly culture and opportunities to develop her career and she's never looked back.

One of the things she enjoys most about her role is the variety. No two days are the same and, as Maddie puts it, she's "never bored." Whilst many people may not immediately think of audit as exciting, Maddie discovered early on that it was something she genuinely enjoys and it has since become her favourite part of the job.

A large part of Maddie's role involves working closely with charities and not-for-profit organisations. She particularly enjoys learning about the important work they do within their communities - she values the opportunity to play a small part in helping them achieve their goals✨️

Over the years, Maddie has developed confidence in her communication skills and enjoys helping to support and train colleagues as they progress in their own careers.

When asked what makes Griffin special, Maddie describes the culture as friendly, motivating and forward-thinking. She values the way colleagues support one another, particularly during busy periods and enjoys being part of a team that embraces technology and innovation to continually improve the way it works.

Outside of work, you'll usually find Maddie horse riding. In fact, she competes in Western Riding and has even represented the UK at competitions in Texas! 🏇 🇺🇲

Thank you, Maddie, for everything you bring to Team Griffin.

When people think about sustainability, they often think about large-scale environmental initiatives.

In reality, meaningful change is often built through hundreds of smaller decisions made consistently over time.

At Griffin, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving the way we operate.

Some of the steps we have taken include:

• Solar panels installed at our Exeter office
• Transitioning our company vehicle fleet to electric vehicles
• EV charging points available at our premises
• A paperless approach across the business, supported by digital workflows, cloud technology including digital note books!
• Using Microsoft Teams where appropriate to reduce unnecessary travel
• Sustainable office practices, including recycling initiatives and reusable glass milk bottle deliveries - (coffee ☕ always sems to taste better this way too! 😊)
• Monitoring and measuring our carbon emissions annually

These changes not only reduce our environmental footprint but also help us build a more efficient and future-focused business.

Becoming a B Corp has reinforced something we have long believed - doing the right thing for the environment is not separate from running a successful business.

The two go hand in hand ♻️

🎉 Happy 1st Birthday, Hugo! 🐾

From greeting us with a wagging tail to keeping the team smiling, Hugo has become a much-loved member of the Griffin family.

Over the past year, he's mastered a few important office skills... knowing exactly when the sandwich van arrives 🚐🥪 and perfecting the art of making a quick escape through the office door whenever the opportunity presents itself! 😂

Happy 1st Birthday, Hugo - here's to another year of tail wags, treats and keeping everyone entertained💙

Leadership deserves time💡

In a busy business, it's easy to focus on what's urgent. But taking time to step back, reflect and invest in your leadership team is one of the most valuable investments you can make👏

This week, Team Griffin headed to the beautiful Froginwell Vineyard for our annual Leadership Team Away Day.

Together, we reflected on everything we've achieved over the past 12 months, celebrated our progress and looked ahead to the opportunities and ambitions for the year ahead.

A huge thank you to Neil Willson for delivering an engaging leadership session, challenging our thinking around the fundamentals of effective leadership and what it takes to build high-performing teams.

We also explored our GC Index team profiles, helping us better understand our collective strengths and how we can continue to get the very best from one another as a leadership team.

The afternoon focused on practical leadership skills, including coaching, navigating difficult conversations and strengthening the communication and relationship skills that underpin exceptional client service.

A big thank you to the team at Froginwell Vineyard Event Venue for the fantastic hospitality, food and setting☀️

At Griffin, we believe investing in our people is investing in our future. It's a philosophy that's always been part of who we are and one that naturally aligns with our B Corp commitment to creating a positive impact for our people, our clients and our community.

A brilliant day with plenty of ideas, energy and momentum to take into the months ahead🚀
