INVESTMENT & PUBLIC SECTOR DEVELOPMENT
Public sector entities
As the decision-maker at a public sector institution or company, you will know how vital this sector is. Public sector organisations have a duty to provide all public services in the UK from education to emergency services, healthcare, housing, and social care. As such, effectively managing the financial aspects of your institution or organisation is crucial.
Those in public sector entities will also know that governments, either local or central, and charities do not operate in the same way as corporations and private sector entities, and they have vastly different responsibilities. Usually, those in the public sector are not too concerned with standard financial accounting issues or issues that are more relevant to private sector accounting, like profit margins. Instead, you will likely have plenty of money passing through your accounts that will need to be spent, saved, and invested accordingly.
We understand that with public sector finances comes a myriad of challenges, some of which pertain to the legal requirements for public finances. Many of the challenges will also be specific to your organisation or institution, which is why our accounting practices and service delivery are tailored exactly to your needs.
