FS4S Services for Academies

At FS4S we understand the additional responsibilities that you hold for your employees and your finances as well as the different opportunities that being an academy or a multi academy trust brings.

FS4S prides itself in being able to offer a full suite of business services to academies and multi academy trusts that includes finance support, payroll and HR services. Our unique ability to be able to do this and operate locally means that we can support you in identifying your needs, fully recognising the issues and providing a range of commercially focused solutions. We offer a personal and friendly service delivered by qualified and experienced staff with a proactive, pragmatic approach.

We have been successfully supporting academies since 2010 through a wide range of service options that are tailored to meet the individual needs of each academy. This might be regular weekly finance support visits or an Internal Review service; full payroll provision or a payroll help-line for in-house payroll; and advice and generation of new HR policies to our 48 hour turn-around contracts administration.

We can also offer training programmes for trustees and staff on all aspects of academy finance and HR that will be prepared especially to meet your individual circumstances, delivered to you on site.

Whether you are newly converting to an academy or have been an academy for some years we have the expert knowledge to provide advice and take you through the processes that meet with the Academies Financial Handbook and your responsibilities under employment law.
