How Can We Support Your Organisation?
Some of our great not for profit clients
We engaged Whelan Dowling & Associates (WDA) for the provision of statutory audit services for the financial year ended 31st December 2024, as well as for assistance in the preparation of our financial statements. This was our first time working with WDA, and we are very impressed with the quality of service we received. Jason Dowling FCA acted as our account manager and provided excellent service and sound professional advice throughout the audit process. His responsiveness, clear communication, and understanding of our sector were particularly valued. WDA ensured we met all of our statutory deadlines and they remained within budget, while being readily accessible to both our Trustees and management team throughout the engagement. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending WDA to other not-for-profit organisations seeking a reliable and professional audit partner
Donegal Youth Services CLG.Whelan Dowling and Associates (WDA) has been working with and providing external audit services for Threshold, the national housing charity, since 2019. During that time, as CEO, I have found the services and supports provided by WDA to be highly responsive to the needs of Threshold, dependable and professional. They explain their work and processes to us in simple and accessible language; they carry out all necessary tasks with willingness and enthusiasm and are very flexible in providing additional services when required by Threshold. We would be very happy and willing to recommend the services of WDA to any prospective clients
ThresholdOn behalf of Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre CLG, I am delighted to express our sincere gratitude to Whelan Dowling & Associates (WDA) for the exceptional audit and assurance services provided to our organisation in 2024. Having recently transitioned to WDA as our auditors, we were immediately impressed by their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Throughout the audit process, the WDA team consistently met all deadlines, adhered to the agreed-upon audit plan, and remained within the budgeted costs. Furthermore, WDA demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique financial and operational complexities of the Irish charity and not-for-profit sector. Their insights and guidance proved invaluable to our organisation, and we greatly appreciate their collaborative approach and commitment to supporting our mission. We highly recommend Whelan Dowling & Associates to any organisation seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive audit partner
