Independent Schools

Making independent schools better—at what they do best
 

Independent schools operate in a highly competitive environment, where regulation, financing, infrastructure needs, and student enrollment all play key roles in sustainability. Our audit and assurance capabilities are uniquely suited to help independent schools in their efforts to address the varied demands of this complex environment.

Our team provides the operational expertise and experience necessary to help your independent school with the development of clear, actionable strategic plans that address both near- and long-term needs. We work collaboratively with our academic clients to gain a clear picture of current needs, and to prioritize the work necessary to address them. Our team offers academic clients the benefits of: 

• Large-firm sophistication and capabilities. As a full-service consulting firm, we leverage the specialized knowledge necessary to address each client’s specific needs.
• Boutique-level engagement. We assemble the resources you need, when you need them, providing year-round communication and personalized service that addresses your concerns, identifies emerging issues, and helps you plan for complex accounting and compliance matters that can impact your mission. 
• Industry-specific experience. We offer up-to-date consulting that stays abreast of current and emerging developments, and are able to proactively identify those issues that can affect your sustainability and success. 
• A long, demonstrated history of serving independent schools. Our experience allows us to add value through knowledge sharing, and the introduction of best practices employed successfully by other organizations. Our involvement with the Association of Independent Schools in New England (AISNE) helps us stay up to date on emerging issues and developments.
