Furness Academy
Furness Academy had worked with Ian for several years during his previous accountancy role. After he left to establish Walling Accountants, the academy found that his replacement struggled to develop the same understanding of its financial requirements and the wider education sector.
The team soon recognised the value of Ian’s specialist knowledge and decided to work with him again. His support went beyond supplying accounting tools. He brought a detailed understanding of academy finances, reporting obligations and the systems needed to give the organisation a clearer picture of its financial position.
Project Overview
Furness Academy already had an experienced internal team capable of producing management accounts. However, it needed additional insight, more detailed reporting and a system that could provide reliable financial information throughout the year.
The aim was to create a more responsive approach to financial management. The academy wanted to understand its position on a daily basis, forecast its year-end figures with greater accuracy and make informed decisions using current, accessible information.
Solution Focus
Ian introduced a bespoke, single-tool solution that gave the academy a much clearer view of its finances. He also took responsibility for project management and produced practical schedules to help the team stay organised and meet its accounting responsibilities.
An important part of the service was training the academy’s internal finance team. Rather than simply completing tasks on their behalf, Ian shared his knowledge and helped staff develop the skills needed to use the systems effectively and manage more of the process themselves.
