Accounting for the Education Sector
Our goal is to make the financial side of running a school as straightforward as possible. Many school managers are understandably focused on the teaching and learning, and statutory financial obligations aren’t prioritised until a deadline is looming. This creates a highly stressful situation for everyone involved.
At MLG our goal is to be proactive and help take the financial headaches away by ensuring that everything runs smoothly. We’ll look at where you are now, and where you need to get to, and put in place a clear, scheduled plan of action to put your finances in order.
Once your school has proper financial systems and processes in place, this will facilitate the smooth running of the school as a whole, and have a positive impact on teaching and learning.
Problem Solving
Academies can experience unique challenges, and we are well equipped to offer practical support to schools that are in financial difficulties. We can help to put sustainability plans in place so that your school can work towards a better financial footing. We can also introduce schools to other academies, facilitating forming larger academy groups that are able to work in a more cost-effective manner.
