I have been using Education Services for the past 5 years and have found them to be extremely efficient and reliable.  Their reports are comprehensive yet easy to read and I am able to share these easily with BOT members.  They are open to comment and have often supported the school with individual requests. 

I have no issue with recommending them to other schools.  They do the reports and it lets me get on with planning for better learning and teaching.  Keep it up! 

We changed to Education Services as our financial service provider in 2011 based on their depth of knowledge and experience in the education sector and my own positive experience of working with Education Services for five years at my previous school.  The transition to the new service was very smooth and we have found the Auckland staff efficient and easy to work with.  The online systems and monthly reports have all the key information to enable us to manage our budgets and financial planning in an effective and timely manner.  Changing to Education Services has been the right decision for our school.

Education Services have proven to be leaders in their field of financial management and reporting. 

The information provided for audit by them is of the highest standard and leads to an effective cost efficient audit. By contrast the audit function of those schools who take on their own financial management is generally more difficult, which results in significant audit cost increases and delays in completion times. 

We commend most highly the professional service provided by Education Services.

"WOW" what a difference Education Services has made to our efficiency and much more than just fiscal efficiency. It has also allowed us to be more accurate with strategic planning ensuring we get the best value from our funds. 

Steve was invaluable to our school as we transitioned from a executive officer system to that of Education Services. He assisted our whole office team to get the new systems up and running and ongoing help is readily available and timely - no question is a dumb question for ESL. 

Steve also walked us through a quality budgeting process and I rate this as some of the most relevant professional development I have received as a first time principal. 

We have had the freedom of designing our budget with codes to align with school priorities and the reports are extremely easy to use - especially for a new Board. 

We strongly recommend this service to all schools.
