The education sector is a varied one with a range of roles both in the classroom and outside of it. While many view the sector as having roles such as teachers or administrators, having a robust financial team is key to ensure the efficient daily running of a school.

Financial teams in education

School budgets are one of the most pressing issues in schools. Many schools face difficulties in managing their budget while ensuing they are able to provide the best support to their pupils.
