Roger Allum

Technical Consultant

Before joining Mercia, Roger worked as an audit manager at a regional firm with a focus on charity and academy clients. This allowed him to develop an understanding of the unique financial reporting and compliance needs within these sectors. He managed a diverse portfolio of clients, ranging from small regional charities to large, national organisations.

Roger has worked extensively with academy clients, ranging from single academy trusts to medium-sized multi-academy trusts. This experience exposed him to the complexities of academy funding and reporting requirements and gave him experience of ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while supporting the financial health and sustainability of the trusts.

Beyond audit Roger has served as a treasurer for a community co-operative, where he was responsible for overseeing financial reporting under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act.
