Education

At Grant Thornton the education sector is a core part of our business.

Tertiary education institutions

We have extensive experience in working with universities and polytechnics and we have a good understanding of how they operate. We have advised on a range of tax issues (GST, FBT and IRD management), provided audit services, reviewed and advised on treasury policies, advised on reporting standards and provided corporate finance advice.

Schools both in the state and independent sector

We also have extensive experience in working with schools and have an in-depth knowledge of how they function. We are auditors to a considerable number of schools across the country.

Other organisations

We have advised a number of other organisations in the Education sector including government and training establishments.

We are recognised as leading advisers to Not for Profit organisations, and can bring that experience to the table when advising organisations in the Education sector that have charitable status or are government-funded.

Our team is able to offer an insightful, expert opinion on accountancy, tax and a range of advisory needs. We offer solutions and advice in the following service areas:
