From schools and early childhood centres to universities and training providers, we help education leaders manage funding, risk and compliance so they can stay focused on teaching and student outcomes.

Education Sector Experts

Supporting education and training organisations

 

Education providers operate in an environment of increasing corporate governance, accountability, funding requirements and risk management expectations. To deliver high quality education today, leaders must manage far more than classroom delivery and facilities.

You are expected to stay across curriculum reform, regulatory and legislative change, shifting student needs and the rapid evolution of technology, while maintaining financial sustainability and stakeholder confidence.

Our education specialists have worked with hundreds of schools and colleges across Australia, as well as universities, early childhood centres, VET and RTO providers, education support organisations and regulators. We understand the different funding, governance and reporting frameworks that apply across public and independent providers, and the practical realities faced by principals, bursars, business managers and boards.

We have extensive experience working with:

  • Public and independent primary and secondary education organisations
  • Early Childhood Education centres
  • University and Tertiary Education Institutions
  • Department of Education and Training
  • Vocational Education and Training (VET) Providers
  • Registered Training Organisations (RTOs)
  • Education Support Organisations
  • Education Regulatory Bodies
  • Education Associations and Professional Bodies

We combine sector specific audit and assurance with financial, strategic and management advice tailored to education organisations.

Our teams support you with financial reporting, budgets and cash flow forecasting, internal control reviews, governance and risk advisory, tax compliance and outsourced finance functions.

This integrated approach helps leadership teams and boards see the full picture when making decisions about programmes, staffing, capital projects and student experience.

Education providers are balancing immediate operational pressures with long term sustainability, ESG expectations and changing funding models.

We help you understand your financial health, identify risks early and respond to emerging opportunities, including grant programmes and private funding.

Our aim is to support you in building resilient, well governed organisations that can continue to deliver quality education into the future.

Our Approach

Balancing educational mission with financial sustainability

Education organisations exist to serve students and communities yet must do so within tight financial and regulatory constraints. We work alongside principals, bursars, business managers and boards to help them interpret financial results, understand cost drivers and align resources with strategic priorities. This includes supporting conversations about fees, staffing, capital investment and programme development, grounded in clear financial analysis.

By bringing together sector insight, financial expertise and governance experience, we help you strengthen accountability and transparency to stakeholders, including parents, funders, regulators and staff. Our role is to support you in maintaining educational quality while preserving the financial resilience needed to withstand funding shifts, enrolment changes and new compliance requirements.
