Many state schools continue to apply for academy status under the current Government guidelines. If your school is considering this, the change in status is an exciting step forward, giving you greater control over your finances as well as your curriculum.
The responsibilities that come with being an academy mean that it is important to ensure that you appoint financial advisers who understand your financial needs including accounts and audit and can provide additional services to support your development.
As well as a range of services including audit and accountancy, tax and VAT, we are aware that academies need to review their existing HR services. Some schools are still linked to the services provided by their local authority and others have no support as their local authorities no longer offer the service. In addition some academies are already looking at ways to enhance their income streams through fundraising methods. We as leading financial advisors in the education sector can play a pivotal role in your current and future development offering sound financial advice and direct access to key services.
