Understanding Your Organisation’s Financial Resilience

We specialise in local government financial resilience. It’s all we do!

Our unrivalled analysis of all English council balance sheets and funding puts us in a unique position to help you understand trends in financial health at your authority.

Our Services

Our aim is to provide focused analysis of financial information to provide you with a comparative view of your authority's financial and funding position.

At LGFin, we provide specialist financial analysis exclusively for local government, fire, and police authorities across England. Our expertise helps you understand the true health of your organisation’s finances — from balance sheet strength and funding trends to expenditure and revenue resilience.

Balance Sheet Health Analysis

Business Rates Retention System

Local authorities and Fire & Rescue Services in England face complex challenges under the Business Rates Retention System. Our tailored analysis and advisory service helps you build internal skills, enhance financial confidence, and make better-informed decisions about your local revenue.

Funding Analysis

Our comprehensive funding analysis covers the annual settlement, council tax, and business rates. We help you break down complex funding formulas, understand how your allocations are determined, and benchmark your position against similar authorities — enabling stronger budget assumptions and planning.

Revenue Expenditure Analysis

Using government (RA and RO) returns, we’ve developed a dynamic model to analyse and visualise your revenue and expenditure patterns. This allows you to track budgeted versus actual spending, monitor trends, and identify areas of potential improvement compared to other authorities or groups of your choice.
