Client Background
Sigma Trust is an educational organisation that began its journey over a decade ago with seven individual secondary schools. As academies started to gain prominence, Sigma Trust was among the early adopters, embracing the new model and expanding its reach. Over time, Sigma Trust has grown significantly, consolidating into a larger trust and incorporating additional primary and secondary schools.

- Accounts Compilation: We handle the preparation of financial statements and reports, ensuring accuracy and adherence to statutory requirements.
- Specialised Reporting: For academies, we also provide teacher’s pension reports and other academy-specific requirements, supporting Sigma Trust’s compliance with educational sector regulations.
