CEFM has established itself nationally as one of the primary service providers across the whole spectrum of education within the United Kingdom. Over the past three decades, we have become a key resource for education managers, offering an immediate source of information allowing senior staff to confidently make timely, well-informed decisions. The Centre for Education & Finance Management and its predecessors have been assisting schools on financial, educational, personnel and legal matters since the inception of Local Management of Schools in 1990. It is our belief that each school is unique and requires a support package tailored to its own needs. Factors including staff numbers, in-house expertise and new legislation such as the Academies Act can all influence the level and type of support required. It is our policy to visit each client in person to explain our services in detail in order to guarantee each school or academy receives the best possible support. We have also developed a full online website of useful resources and documentation, which eduation providers can subscribe to for a wealth of support.
