Medium Term Financial Planning

The way to embed more for less in service delivery.....

In partnership with Pixel Financial

We will...
"promote the radical devolution of power and greater financial autonomy to local government and community groups. This will include a review of local government finance"
"phase out the ring-fencing of grants to local government and review the unfair Housing Revenue Account"
"freeze Council Tax in England for at least one year, and seek to freeze it for a further year, in partnership with local authorities"

These messages from the "The Coalition: our programme for government" show that local government is on the cusp of the most fundamental reform in finance for a generation and is entering a new era of financial austerity that will demand "more for less".
Public Sector Consultants, in partnership with Pixel Financial Consulting, can offer to local government a tried-and-tested approach that will help you develop a robust medium term financial strategy and implementation programme. Our approach will give you an effective framework for managing:

  • Political manifesto commitments and strategic service aims and objective
  • Day-to-day service operational costs and income streams.
The outcome will be a coherent plan that will enable councils to meet their customers’ needs, operational performance requirements, and cost and income targets. Our approach will be based on:
  • Detailed service analysis, including savings and an understanding of strategic aims
  • Benchmarking information for frontline and backoffice services
  • Effective resource allocation, including key business metrics
  • Development of options for change, including capital options appraisal
  • Cost and income behaviour patterns.

The benefits of our service are:

  • We combine a comprehensive knowledge of local government services with proven financial techniques and abilities
  • You don’t have to “re-invent the wheel”: we have a tried-and-tested approach
  • Our approach combines detailed and specific proposals with wide-ranging and radical programmes
  • You keep total control and flexibility over the level of our involvement and you will retain full ownership
  • The budget can be agreed so that there are no hidden costs.
