Academies and multi-academy trusts are a very niche area and one we are proud to be able to facilitate, with our specialist team of people we can offer a wide variety of assistance to existing and converting schools. Our services include provision of internal or external audit, preparation of statutory and management accounts, completion and submission of the AAR to name but a few. Our approach is very specific to each Trust, supporting their visions and values and assisting and advising on their systems and controls. There is no one model that fits all and our specialist knowledge is tailored to give the best possible service.
