Jenny Howard

Jenny joined the trust in 2012 having previously worked for a "big four" accountancy firm within the audit practice. She is a Chartered Accountant who also holds the ICAEW's Diploma in Charity Accounting. She is responsible for preparing internal and external reporting, management and oversight of the trust's finance team and is involved in supporting key trust projects and initiatives from a financial perspective.

Jenny was closely involved in the successful integration of Northlands Wood Primary Academy into the trust and continues to work in partnership with staff based at that academy. She has managed the selection and implementation of new systems including payroll and accounting systems to improve both the efficiency of trust processes and the quality of reporting data available to stakeholders. Her sector experience combined with her audit practice background is invaluable when designing appropriate internal control processes and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
