sector leaders to over 100 independent and state-maintained schools across the UK

With over 100 independent and state-maintained schools across the UK as clients, haysmacintyre is the leading adviser in the sector.

In addition to audit, tax and VAT services, our schools look to us for help in other matters such as:
 

  • school mergers
  • structuring of trading operations
  • governor training and governance issues
  • public benefit
  • risk management
  • regulatory matters
  • employment issues
  • banking arrangements
     

For over 20 years, the firm has produced the Annual Independent Schools Management Survey which provides a valuable benchmarking tool for clients and non-clients in the sector.

Our Annual Schools' Conference is one of the main diary events for school management teams to which over 200 delegates attend to learn about sector developments as well as technical updates. We also provide seminars on topical issues for bursars and governors.

The team provides regular newsletters focusing on a variety of financial and taxation issues for the schools sector as well as frequent updates when regulations change.
