Before training as an accountant, I completed the Teach First programme as a secondary Mathematics teacher and spent three years in the classroom, so I know first hand the challenges that teachers face. I remember the highs and lows, including going into and (finally!) out of Special Measures, the extra interventions for the students who were struggling, and the great lessons where everyone finally seemed to get it. As a Headteacher you've got a lot more on your mind than just the state of the school's finances, but at the same time you're aware that managing this correctly is critically important to the future success of the school.
That's where I can come in. Having worked in audit in RSM UK, a top ten accountancy firm, and having specialised in education clients, I am ideally positioned to help you. As an auditor, I helped all my clients get a better control of their systems and processes as well as improving their financial reporting.
You can have a chartered accountant come in and take on your school's management accounting and reporting, and support you to get the finances and financial controls where they should be.
