Government legislation offers the leadership teams and governing bodies of state-maintained schools the opportunity to take greater control over the financial and strategic direction of their school by becoming an academy.

While the attractions of academy status are apparent, there are many issues that need to be addressed before the decision is made to convert, and afterwards. Indeed, it is important that academies make the most of their service providers, including their professional advisors.

While the security of a big name may be tempting, smaller firms, such as Nicklin, can offer the same high quality service, but with a more personal touch and competitive pricing.

Nicklin has extensive audit experience, including the audit of charities, and can add real value to the process, by drawing out key data to help schools operate more efficiently and to inform decision-making.

By offering a proactive service, we can guide you through the regulatory minefield and advise on best practice, as well as helping you make the most of your budget – so you can spend it on the educational issues that really matter.
