Universities are operating in one of the most challenging environments in decades. Financial pressures, volatile student demand, rising workforce costs are forcing institutions to rethink their approach to pensions and employee benefits, while maintaining staff trust, engagement and long-term sustainability.
Against this backdrop, pensions and reward have become a critical strategic consideration. Our higher education specialists help institutions balance affordability, risk and governance with the need to attract, retain and support a high-performing workforce.
We provide actuarial, pensions and employee benefits advice across all major higher education arrangements, including Self Administered Trusts (SATs), USS, LGPS, TPS and the NHSPS, as well as defined contribution pension schemes and wider employee benefits.
What support can Broadstone provide?

2. Support on year-end accounting disclosures
