Help need with Financial statements, reports and returns, Pension schemes, payroll and VAT Problem solving?
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 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 everything runs smoothly. We will 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 robust financial systems and processes in place, this will help to facilitate the smooth running of the school as a whole and have a positive impact on teaching and learning.
We can help with:
- Strategic financial plans
- Putting back office financial systems in place.
- Reporting and preparing monthly financial statements, annual statutory accounts and ESFA returns.
- Pension Schemes, Payroll and VAT
- Internal Scrutiny Reports
- Accounting Software migration including procurement, system set up and training.
- Purchasing Tenders
Why Choose MLG?
Most of our staff have worked in the sector for many years which allows us to understand the pressures that the finance team are under whilst also enabling our support to be tailored to your needs, from the provision of an interim CFO service through to “bookkeeping”.
All our staff understand that finding out where the school is at in their journey is important and the school’s “context” is considered when designing support solutions and arranging meetings.
We are upfront about our fees and whilst having accountancy backgrounds we do not charge corporate style fees. The clock isn’t running every time you invite us to a meeting or pick up the phone to ask us a question which helps us to build positive relationships within the schools.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss any requirements you currently have or maybe coming up, then give us a call for an initial discussion on how we can help on 01926 679252.
