Our story
Education Business Management (EBM) was founded by experienced professionals from PKF and BDO, bringing together deep expertise in business and project management with a passion for supporting schools and academies.
Our team are highly qualified, hands-on practitioners with a clear understanding of the day-to-day challenges faced by primary and secondary schools, academies, and, increasingly, multi-academy trusts (MATs). We have supported hundreds of organisations nationwide through academy conversion, growth, and ongoing improvement.
Over the past decade, we have worked with more than 200 schools and trusts as part of the Department for Education’s academies programme and beyond, providing strategic advice, guidance, and practical support. Our work with MATs now forms a core part of what we do, helping boards and executive teams strengthen governance, achieve financial sustainability, and deliver better outcomes for pupils.
When you work with EBM, you benefit from an integrated approach that combines business, financial, legal, education, property, and IT expertise. Most importantly, we deliver this through professionals who understand your sector and share your commitment to improvement.
We will always:
- Tailor our support to your unique context and priorities
- Align our work with your trust or school’s vision and ethos
- Provide advice and solutions grounded in real experience
- Deliver high-quality, affordable services that add long-term value
