"Giving Academies the tools to Increase cash deposit returns"
Ian Buss
Ian has a 35 year banking career behind him with the last 20 years dedicated to the Education and Not for Profit sectors.
Ian has held voluntary posts as both a School Governor and a Trustee at an Education Governance charity.
He built the Education team and proposition for Schools at a major bank and lead the team to grow market share from 12% of Academies to over 70% and increased lending to support Independent schools by double digit growth year on year.
Ian's in-depth knowledge of the Academy and Independent school sectors is unparalleled.
As such, Ian has a unique insight into Academies, Independent Schools and the Not for Profit sectors. He brings this expertise to the Education Banking Consultancy to have a client centric focus to significantly improve financial efficiencies, returns and risk management in your Academy or School.
In my 35 year banking and support career, I have yet to see a school or charity that wouldn't benefit from external support for deposit solutions.
The reality is, in most MATs, Independent Schools and Charities, there is not the time to see the wood for the trees.
This is where I can support you.
I offer a completely free support by phone or video call to get an understanding of your needs and to share potential solutions with you. Support for Treasury management guidance and deposit solutions are always free for schools and comply with the DfE guidelines on reserves and deposits (only using UK, FCA regulated institutions).
Contact me, even if it is just to receive an up-to-date draft Investment policy and deposit strategy examples:
I have supported thousands of schools across hundreds of Academy Trusts to:
-
Significantly increase the interest earned from both reserves and operational cash.
-
Helped develop deposit strategies to ensure Academies have sufficient liquid cash whilst still earning higher interest rates.
-
Reviewed Cash Deposit and Cash Investment policies and provided up to date draft policies for Academies and schools.
-
All support is complimentary for Academies
