Providing assurance your finance systems are a good fit
Is your academy trust's financial infrastructure optimised for transparency, efficiency, and compliance? Does it provide a clear picture for effective trustee scrutiny and informed decision-making?
At Strictly Education, we understand the unique challenges faced by academy trusts. We offer a comprehensive healthcheck, providing assurance your financial systems are sound, effective, and robust. This empowers you to not only meet the demanding standards set by the Academies Financial Handbook (AFH), but builds a culture of transparency and accountability within your trust.
“Strictly Education worked with our whole operations team prior to a consultation process resulting from a school merger. Their perceptive insight was fundamental in designing a proposed structure which combined efficiency, value and future proofing.”
