Financial leadership for independent and Catholic schools.

What we do for schools

We partner with independent schools, Catholic schools and multi-campus systems to raise the quality of board-level financial leadership. From tuition revenue modelling to capital-works feasibility, we bring the discipline of a full-time CFO to schools that cannot justify one.

Where we add the most value

• Board-grade monthly reporting. A one-page commentary, six core charts and a KPI pack your finance committee actually reads.
• Enrolment forecasting. Three-year enrolment and tuition revenue models that stress-test intake assumptions.
• Capital-works modelling. Feasibility, debt-servicing and fundraising scenarios for building programs.
• Fee-setting support. Evidence-based fee review supporting principal and board decisions.
• Governance support. Reserves policy, risk register, delegation of authority, finance-committee terms of reference.

The schools reporting pack

Every monthly board pack we produce for schools includes:

• P&L vs budget and vs prior year
• Cash flow and forecast runway
• Enrolment actuals vs forecast
• Staff costs as % of fee income
• Capital projects status
• KPI dashboard including fee yield, staff:student ratio, surplus %
• Written principal commentary

Why schools choose us

Most finance directors in schools are excellent operators but the board needs a strategic layer above that. We provide it on a fractional basis, at a cost most schools can easily justify, with the reporting rigour of a full-time CFO.
