Free tax advice for Devon crowdfunding projects

Harlands Accountants have announced that they are to sponsor the Crowdfunder's Crowdfund Devon and Cornwall campaigns.

The South West's leading accountancy firm will offer free specialist tax and business advice to projects following their successful crowdfunding campaigns.

"As a leading accountant in Devon and Cornwall, partnering with Crowdfunder to offer projects helps and advice was a natural fit for Harlands," said David Harland, Director, Harlands. "We want to enhance the service that Crowdfunder provides by providing general advice financial management and tax issues in a clear and easy to understand way. Crowdfunder shares our ethos of giving inspired businesses and communities help at the point when they need it the most - when resources are often scarce."

Launched a year ago, the Crowdfund Cornwall campaign has already raised funds of over £750,000 for businesses, charities and community projects in Cornwall.

"We're delighted to have Harlands on board," said Rob Love, Chairman of Crowdfunder. "It's crucial for projects to get the right advice from business services providers and having access to financial expertise from Harlands should really help turn more great ideas into reality."
