Identify opportunities that can help your institution excel.

No matter how much dedication and intention your team brings, your school faces issues that can become obstacles to your trajectory. From a decline in enrollment and revenue to concerns about resource allocation, the ever-changing landscape of education requires strategic planning and smart pivoting.

FORVIS’ assurance, tax, and consulting services can help you make positive and powerful changes. We work from the ground up, performing a full academic portfolio review, collecting and analyzing data, and producing an extensive and custom strategic plan. That plan includes potential opportunities, recommendations for meeting student needs, and a road map for next steps.

From preschool through universities, our team works with hundreds of educational institutions, demonstrating deep industry knowledge. We stay ahead of trends and share our experience through FORsights™ articles, webinars, and newsletters.

We’re not a “one-and-done” service—we’re your dedicated collaborator. Our skilled professionals are committed to reliable and consistent communication, providing you with guidance to help your school stay on track with your goals. We’re committed to providing an Unmatched Client Experience®—we listen, respond, and consult with purpose—to help your school achieve its mission.

“The transition of Campbellsville University to FORVIS was smooth and well organized. We had been with another firm for approximately 18 years and were concerned about the impact of this significant change. The FORVIS team made us feel comfortable about the process and were highly responsive to our many questions. They provide proactive guidance, have deep higher education experience, and share timely insights.”
– Tim Judd, Campbellsville University
