Our education practice offers a significant wealth of knowledge that spans K-12 schools through colleges and universities. We know how vital education is to our community, and we understand the unique obstacles education institutions face every day. With a dedicated practice of over 50 professionals serving education clients, we have the experience and aptitude to ensure your institution excels in tackling budgeting, fundraising and grant compliance, regulatory compliance and board governance, unrelated business income tax (UBIT), increased reporting responsibilities, taxable and tax-exempt debt financing, and compliance, alternative investments, student financial aid, and endowments.
Educational institutions that plan and address these important issues can make a lasting impact on their future and long-term success. We work with numerous educational institutions daily and have a proven track record of being a trusted advisor when most needed. Â We emphasize continuous open communication throughout the year in order to have a complete understanding of your operations, risks, needs, and concerns. Â With our local presence backed by national and international resources, we offer a broad range of specialized assurance, tax, and consulting services, designed specifically to help meet the continuing challenges institutions face, as well as address our educational institution clients' needs.Â
