One of the country’s leading specialists in this sector heads up our team, confirming the strength of our existing expertise.

We recognise that the education sector is not ‘just like charities but with a different income stream’. For example, the introduction and implementation of both risk management and FRS17 have notably affected the education sector in a different way to 'other charities'. Some differences are subtle, in our dealings with the sector we are conscious of the unique circumstances which surround our clients. Our thorough understanding of the sector in which they operate enable us to put those circumstances into context.

Our education unit stands apart, which is why many schools, universities and colleges are coming to us. Like our clients, we recognise the importance of personal service delivered by education specialists.

Senior members of our team are encouraged to engage with key sector and professional groups, contributing through technical committees and other forums to national debates. We look to set the pace for our competitors, assuring our clients that we are one step ahead.

Our approach is always pragmatic - we see the wider picture, not just the technicalities. We are often involved in the research and development of issues and principles for charities, resulting in an insightful understanding and applied with real knowledge of the options open to, and impact on, individual clients.

Our services include:

• audit and taxation
• strategic planning and management
• governance and risk management
