Two years ago our School returned to Education Services for our Financial Management and Reporting Services after having managed this work within the school for a number of years.

We have been extremely pleased with our decision.  The Education Services Team are professional, approachable and always willing to assist.  The systems they have developed for reporting have enabled us to have very clear understandings of our current and forecasted financial position.  Such information allows us to plan pro-actively to improve outcomes for students.

The Finance Department at Spotswood College, including our Board of Trustees Finance Committee,  have developed a highly effective partnership with Education Services.  Education Services efficiency, reliability and accessibility contribute significantly to our goal of ongoing school development and improvement.

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.

Highlands Intermediate School has over many years benefited from the guidance and financial advice of Education Services. We receive regular visits to review and plan the school's finances and have every confidence in the service they provide. 

It is reassuring to know that Education Services are only a telephone call away to offer support to the school and Board of trustees. There is always a immediate response to and query and they have the ability and expertise to produce the financial reports within a tight time frame to meet the demands of the school. 

The partnership between Highlands Intermediate school and Education Services is an important one, as financial stability enables the school to continue providing quality education for the students of this school.

I had used Education Services in other schools prior to my appointment at Opunake and found their service to be highly effective and professional. 

Opunake had been completing their own accounts and the systems were difficult to follow and the audit process a nightmare. We became clients of ESL three years ago and have never regretted the decision.

We access up to date information electronically, receive graphs every quarter and detailed reports are accurate and easy to follow. Time spent processing accounts has reduced greatly and the office administrator finds the system much simpler. Additional assistance is only a phone call away and it is nice to speak directly with the person who prepares our accounts. 

Our school is 'fund holder' for EHSAS and JSIF projects and accurate reporting to partner schools is made easy with the detailed reports prepared by Education Services. 

We strongly recommend Education Services to any future clients.

Education Services offer a very cost effective and immediate service. They have the personnel with the expertise and integrity that helps to ensure consistent financial reporting to my trustees and the community.

Boards of Trustees may change but the quality of financial reporting remains first class.
