School District Expertise
We have provided audit and consulting services to New York State school districts for over 50 years. With the addition of Raymond F. Wager, CPA, P.C. in 2018 and Marvin and Company in 2023, MMB has brought the state’s most experienced professionals together, eager to serve the industry. As frequent presenters for NYS School Boards Association, NYS Association of School Business Officials, and NYS Government Officers Finance Association, we have developed a strong track record for anticipating and responding to the needs of school districts due to our depth of industry experience.
Because of our expertise in this industry, we are able to proactively provide clients with valuable ideas for the use of your resources, approach toward budgeting, and our improved internal controls. We aim to go above and beyond basic compliance needs to bring value to your school.
Charter School Expertise
For nearly 25 years MMB has provided audit, tax, accounting and management advisory services to the Charter School Industry. Our commitment to this sector is evidenced by our involvement statewide. In 2012, the Firm’s Charter School Industry Group leaders were selected by the New York State Education Department to develop the Charter School Audit Guide and subsequent state wide training program. The decision to select our Firm was based largely on expertise and longevity in the industry, both which our firm possesses in great depth. The third factor in the decision, and the factor we are most proud of, was based on references from current charter school clients.
Serving over 45 charter schools predominately in the New York City Area as well as throughout New York State, MMB professionals set the standard statewide on how to thoroughly audit a charter school while maintaining efficiencies and keeping costs to a minimum. While we enjoyed the opportunity to compose this Guide, the most rewarding part of this accomplishment is knowing that schools across the state authorized by the New York State Education Department will receive the same peace of mind upon completion of the audit regardless of the firm selected to perform the engagement. This is due to the fact that all service providers will be asked to follow the same high standards that MMB has been following for years. Our dedication to this industry is not just to the schools themselves, but to continuous education of our personnel and our peers as the industry continues to grow and evolve.
