Welcome to MT Academies & Independent Schools Sector Services
Professional services for academies and independent schools, with a personal touch..
Academies and independent schools need to make the most of their budgets when choosing service providers, including their accountant.
While the security of a big name may be tempting, smaller firms, such as Moore Thompson, can offer
the same high quality service, but with a more personal touch and competitive pricing.
Moore Thompson 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.
Our specialists already provide dedicated commercial advice to schools in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Buckinghamshire, and have developed an understanding of their needs through building close links with them and the communities served.
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.
