Education

There are many different types of school operating outside of LEA control requiring accountancy assistance:

• Independent schools
• Foundation/trust schools
• Academies
• Voluntary aided schools
• City technology colleges
• Free schools

We established our education team to provide proactive advice and hands-on support for schools. We work to the highest professional standards and deliver, in a friendly manner, through our prompt and flexible approach at a local level. We aim to provide a service tailored to a school’s identity and specific requirements. You are not treated in a ‘one size fits all’ approach but as a unique client with defined needs.
