We are Beehive - a friends-and-family -owned and operated small business, established in 2014 and born out of a desire to deliver professional, flexible, and scalable finance and operations solutions to third sector organisations. We provide our charity partners with the financial and operational experience and knowledge they need, leaving them to get on with the crucial day-job of delivering support to those who need it the most. What we think makes us different is our approach – more than just a service-provider, we embed an effective and efficient finance and operations team into each partner organisation, overseen by a senior professional. An example of the kind of work we deliver can be seen on our website

In the last decade, we have expanded through word-of-mouth and now support nearly 50 partner charities across the UK.

We are proud of the culture we have at Beehive and know that we work at our best when we are happy at work. You can read a bit more about our mission and values on our website.

We meet as a company every month to have brunch and talk about the business. We have team days, when we all swich off our devices and go axe throwing or country walking, and we help each other every day.
