Case Study: Langley Park Learning Trust achieves rapid financial consolidation and one-day management accounts with Civica’s Education FinancialsLIVE

Langley Park Learning Trust supports growth with Education FinancialsLIVE

Langley Park Learning Trust, a fast-growing multi-academy trust in the London Borough of Bromley serving around 5,000 pupils and 500 staff with a £24m budget, faced increasing complexity from disparate bank accounts and multiple FMIS databases that made consolidated, real-time financial reporting impractical. To meet the challenges of scale and provide trustees with timely, credible financial insight, the trust selected Civica’s Education FinancialsLIVE.

Civica implemented Education FinancialsLIVE as a single, cloud-based FMIS with one database and a unified chart of accounts and supplier list, plus a consolidated bank account, giving the MAT remote access to consistent data. The result was dramatic efficiency and visibility gains: management accounts production fell from two weeks to one day, easier identification of savings (for example, switching broadband suppliers), reduced overheads and audit effort, and better-informed budgeting and decision-making to support future growth.
