With over 120 independent schools across the UK as clients, haysmacintyre is the leading adviser in the sector.

In addition to the compliance services, our specialist schools team provides advice and support to schools on matters such as the structuring of trading operations, governor training and governance issues, risk management, regulatory matters, employment issues, banking arrangements and investment management (particularly where there are significant property assets).

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.

To support the dedicated team of partners and managers serving the day-to-day needs of schools we have a number of specialists who are highly regarded in subjects such as Direct taxes, VAT and financial planning.
