How can I support you?

WJF Management Advisor will support you with cost-effective bespoke business packages for Academies and Schools. I can offer: Budget Planning and ICFP, SBM/CFO induction and training, staff/governance training, Internal Scrutiny. Whatever you need, I have more than 35 years’ experience across primary, secondary and special schools, both maintained, single academies and multi-academy trusts and can offer a vast array of support for your school or trust.

I'm a DfE accredited School Resource Management Advisor (SRMA), Fellow of ISBL and I hold a MSc in Educational Leadership. 

Whatever you need WJF Management Advisor can deliver, whether it’s a quick solution to an immediate issue or a long-term action plan.

Worried about the cost? I undertake a cost-effective service to provide your budget with the support you need, as well as help with operational excellence. Talk to me about the challenges you are facing and whether I might be able to plug some of the gaps you might have in skills and knowledge. If I can't help you - I bet I know someone who can!

Do you have an SBL or CFO who needs a mentor, or just someone to talk to? I offer a range of affordable support packages tailored to your specific needs, whether that’s for individuals new to the role, or those who need a bit of additional help and support as the role grows and changes.

Does your governing body/board of trustees require some help and support?  Having been a Chair of Governors and a Charity Trustees, I can support with many governance matters including skills analysis, change management, etc.

Take a look at what else I can offer:

• Budget planning so you can look ahead and make the most of your resources
• Change management – I can provide bespoke support during periods of change to add capacity to your team, this could be in the form of specific support for a project (e.g. new finance system), due diligence, etc. Do not under estimate the additional pressure a period of change can put on your staff.
