We deliver specialised accounting solutions for schools and educational organisations, covering tuition fee management, grant accounting, donations, scholarships, and capital expenditure tracking. Our services ensure transparency and accountability in financial operations.

Managing payroll for teachers, administrative staff, and part-time employees can be complex. We provide end-to-end payroll services, including EPF/ETF contributions, PAYE compliance, staff benefits, and pension schemes ensuring accuracy and timeliness.

Although many schools operate under charitable or non-profit status, they are still subject to specific tax regulations. We provide tailored tax advice, manage VAT and indirect tax exposure, and ensure full compliance with local tax authorities.

We conduct statutory and internal audits for schools and education providers. Our audits confirm the proper use of funds, ensure regulatory compliance, and strengthen confidence among parents, boards, donors, and regulators.

Educational institutions must balance affordability with quality. We assist with budget preparation, multi-year financial forecasts, and variance analysis helping boards make informed decisions about resource allocation, infrastructure investment, and staffing.

Strong governance is vital for the education sector. We provide advisory support on board governance, compliance with ministry regulations, and reporting requirements ensuring transparency and trust.

We assist schools and universities in managing government grants, donor contributions, and fundraising campaigns. Our systems ensure accountability, reporting accuracy, and compliance with donor requirements.

From student fee collection platforms to cloud-based accounting systems, we support schools in adopting digital solutions that streamline administration, improve efficiency, and provide real-time financial insights.

We help institutions strengthen internal controls, reduce fraud risks, and implement transparent processes in areas such as procurement, student fees, and fund management.

Every institution is unique. Whether you are a private school, a non-profit foundation, or a large university, our services are customised to your operational and financial needs, ensuring sustainable growth and compliance.
