Your Business, Our Expertise

Your Trusted Education and Academies Partner

Academies are a modern-day growth story, introduced in the early 2000s by the Labour Government via sponsorship for failing schools. Since 2010, other schools were allowed to convert to academies. Our specialist and dedicated team, led by Louise Hallsworth has worked with many Academy clients supporting with their accounts and audits. The team provides insight and knowledge that comes with over 35 years’ experience and dedication to the sector.

Working in Collaboration

The regulatory framework that Academies must operate within is complicated with specific regulations and laws that are unique within the accounting and auditing sector. Our experience working with academies and the education sector in both multi academy and single academy trusts extends to providing audit, accounting and tax advice.

A Career in Accountancy | Train with us at Affinia

Having just completed our first audit period, we have been very impressed with the professionalism, expertise and ease of communication of staff at all levels of the organisation. The transfer of information before, during and after the audit exercise was efficient and comprehensive. They provide a robust scrutiny, professional advice and an in-depth debrief to our Governors. All in all, it was a very positive experience, and we were very satisfied with the outcome.
