Narrow Quay Solutions


High quality affordable consultancy support, back by access to VWV LLP services.

We specialise in clear, quick and robust advice to schools from sector experts.

Decision making support

Succinct and focused advice based on sector experience, financial expertise and report writing capability. Reports will focus on the specific question in hand to assist decisions makers by providing an independent third-party perspective.

  • Feasibility reports: looking at potential growth opportunities, such as mergers, acquisitions, diversifying, or downsizing.
  • Commercial due diligence: particularly for schools who are being acquired to get to know the acquirer.
  • Efficiency reviews: looking at the school as a whole, specific team processes or on a project-specific basis.

Fractional Finance Director support

Creating capacity, on a flexible basis, such as emergency short term cover, project focused support or on an ongoing basis. Fractional support provides guarantees specialist expertise which is cost efficient and quick compared to hiring more staff.

  • Creating breathing space for in house teams to complete both discrete tasks, and day to day work
  • Project support work, assisting with collating disclosure materials and offering transaction support
  • Assisting with recruitment of finance staff
  • Reviewing and updating current systems

VAT support

Ongoing support with reclaims and preparing for the end of the first VAT year, or reviewing current practices to ensure compliance.

A most helpful analysis - especially when concluded so swiftly. Thank you.
