Financial Bursar Services

“I have worked with Bhavini for the last 13 years and in that time she has been a complete professional. Bhavini has extensive knowledge of FMS, SIMS and Access (HCSS) and the workings of LCC Finance. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and always available to assist with memory lapses or where there was no knowledge in the first place. She has been invaluable to me in my time as a Business Manager and as all Business Managers will appreciate she is great value for money.”
Martyn Howell
Business Manager - Coleman Primary School

“When I first took over as Business Manager at my large primary school, Bhavini patiently guided me through those first difficult months until I developed familiarity with the SIMS FMS system and the financial requirements of the Local Authority. Bhavini has a ‘can do’ attitude and will help you to not only achieve your end goal, but explain to you how you reach this goal. This has given me an enormous amount of confidence in school financial matters, especially knowing that Bhavini is only a phone call/email away if I need her support. I have only used Bhavini in a consultation role, but know that she offers a full financial service for schools if needed. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bhavini to support you in your school financial matters.”

Mark Lambell
Assistant Director - SDSA (School Development Support Agency)

“We have worked with Bhavini for over 20 years and she has always been professional and a valued member of our team. She has a real asset in working with our Office Manager on a monthly basis as part of our quality assurance and support- she’s very knowledgeable (and if she doesn’t know, she’s always willing to find out and get back to us!). Bhavini is very skilled at listening carefully to the school’s needs when we meet monthly and has a good understanding of how the finances impact on school improvement priorities. Thank you Bhavini.”

“Bhav has been my Bursar since 2020. As my first business managers role I wanted to ensure that I was completing finance tasks correctly. Bhav has a wealth of knowledge, knows operating systems well, has a calm friendly nature and has a good relationship with schools and the local authority’s finance team. This ensures she’s always well informed and up to date with any changes or issues that she can help schools with. I didn’t want a bursar who I handed my computer over to complete the tasks, I wanted to learn how to complete them myself and to really understand the process. Bhav has been fantastic; she’s gone at my pace, broken things down for me when needed, corrected my mistakes and really helped me grow in my role.”

“Bhavini has been an invaluable support to me as a new School Business Manager, she has guided me through financial aspects of my role with patience and diligence. She is supportive, knowledgeable and thorough and has always taken great care to ensure we complete tasks accurately and effectively. She is also extremely flexible and has accommodated my requests for help every time that I have asked.”

School Business Manager - Eyres Monsell Primary School

“We are extremely fortunate to have Bhav as part of our team on the days she works with us. She's incredibly thorough and supportive all the time, and she always goes out of her way to be sure that she's giving correct and accurate advice and information. This puts us in the really strong position now of being fully aware of our current and future financial pictures - it's hard to overstate what a difference she's made to us.”

Headteacher - King Richard III Infant and Nursery School

“Financial Bursar Services enables us to successfully manage our budget through regular budget and strategic planning. Bhavini is patient, well informed and understands the needs of our school. We don’t know what we would do without her!”
Natalie Sutton
School Business Manager - Sandfield Close Primary School

“I have worked closely with Bhav for over 12 years at my school. Her knowledge and skillset in the role of Bursar is outstanding. When I first started at my school, Bhav was hands on and guided me through all the processes of budget setting, payroll, contracts on SIMs, FMS, HCSS and tabs with so much patience. Bhav now visits me on a consultancy basis monthly to oversee and provide a second pair of eyes which is invaluable.”
