TSG and Dayta: Combining Expertise in Education

Dayta is proud and excited to announce that we have joined TSG.

Dayta has been a family-run business for over 40 years, dedicated to providing outstanding financial solutions along with excellent customer service. We are thrilled to join forces with TSG, a like-minded organisation, to enhance our presence in the education market.

As one of the UK’s fastest-growing multi-academy trust technology providers, we provide accountancy software and financial management solutions to schools and multi-academy trusts up and down the country. Our Dayta team, with 17 staff situated at our Aylesbury headquarters, will now become a part of TSG and thanks to this recent development, it will generate more roles for talented, ambitious individuals.

TSG is a brilliant fit for us as their customer service philosophy and commitment to team development is aligned with ours and as an industry-leading organisation, we feel this is the natural next step of Dayta’s journey.

Together, we plan to bring Dayta’s expertise in providing business applications and ERP software to SMEs to the wider TSG team with the aim of contributing to TSG’s market-leading Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +85.

We are also excited to announce that with TSG’s acquisition of Dayta, our customers will now have access to the TSG Academy. This platform delivers flexible learning programmes to you, our customers, to better understand and utilise the software that you use.

For TSG, acquiring Dayta marked the next phase of expansion after their experienced leadership team partnered with Pictet Alternative Advisors, and acquired the business earlier this year. All with the aim of looking to grow organically, through a series of strategic acquisitions.

TSG CEO, Rory McKeand, said: “We’re delighted to have completed this key strategic acquisition in order to grow our existing footprint in the education sector. Dayta has a strong pedigree serving education customers, with a growing client portfolio of schools and multi-academy trusts that we will work with to strengthen our position in this key market.     

“Dayta is a high-quality business that is well known for its technology expertise and high levels of customer service. Their business aligns neatly with the values of our company and its customers will be able to empower its educators and learners through our TSG Academy, which has worked with more than 500 organisations and delivered training to over 4,000 individuals. All Dayta customers will have access to our unique TSG Academy training to enable them to understand and get the best out of their technology. 

“Now that the acquisition is complete, there will be a seamless integration of Dayta’s clients into our business and no interruption in the high levels of service provided to them.” 

Samantha Ayres, Managing Director of Dayta, said: “We are thrilled to get this deal over the line. We know TSG well and there’s a fantastic synergy between the two organisations. Our business was established with the aim to help organisations streamline their operations through technology, a priority shared by TSG. They’re a Microsoft and cloud-focused national IT services provider of outstanding quality and we’re happy to be a part of their future growth trajectory.” 

As we enter this new phase, we want to thank all our customers and look forward to continuing to work with and support you for years to come. We also wanted to give a big thank you to our Dayta team for all their hard work over the years, providing excellent service to all our clients which will continue with TSG at the helm.

To all our current customers, please be assured that your contract and services will remain the same throughout this transition period and of course, any new information will be communicated to you in due course. Our support line is still 01296 77007 and should you wish to enquire further about this new step for Dayta, then please do email enquiries@dayta.co.uk.

What our customers say

  • Dayta are always available to support you with efficiency and a smile. The Academy Reports are excellent and recognised by our accountants who can easily create our year end accounts from the system. Having used Sage and the Academy Reporting I haven’t found any limitations in its use and would be happy to recommend the Dayta system to other Academies.

    Eva Evans

    School Business Manager | Bentley Heath School
  • We started as a single secondary school academy and have grown over a period of 4 years to a Multi Academy Trust. Dayta have been with us from the outset giving excellent support and guidance on the Sage Finance and Academy Reports packages. As our Trust continues to grow and our requirements change it is refreshing to work with professionals who want to solve our development needs.

    Mrs S Thomas

    Accounting Manager | Community Academies Trust
  • The moment we met the team at Dayta, we knew that we were going to receive the services of a competent, knowledgeable and responsive organisation. They clearly demonstrated the capability and desire to continually develop their product and provide ongoing support and improvement – a feature we found traditionally absent in the educational finance software package market.

    Adam Miles

    Mike Cussell

    Managing Director | B-Loony
  • We’ve now been with Dayta for a few years and during this time they have always impressed me. Not only do they have a great knowledge of the Sage packages, they offer a great service, always helpful, efficient and always deal promptly with my enquiries. In summary we are very pleased with the service they offer.

    Chris Thomas

    Director | R&JP Internation
  • We have been using Sage 200 since 2011 and are very pleased with it. We chose to move from Sage 50 to Sage 200 because the latter has a lot of much better features and was perfect for our needs. The migration was completed quickly and efficiently. They are quick to respond and very efficient at what they do – we have had no problems with our choice!

    Karen Allen

    Finance Manager | Halma
  • We implemented Sage 200 and the associated Project Accounting module to enable us to accommodate the growing size and complexity of our business and, at every stage in the process, Dayta impressed us with their obvious expertise and knowledge. Over time they have become one of our most trusted and important business partners.

    Chris Calnan

    Finance Lead | PharmiWeb Solutions
  • I have been very impressed with the service received from Dayta.  They were most helpful at the setting up of the project, suggesting various solutions to our requirements and, in particular, have been extremely accommodating when dealing with our bespoke reporting requirements.

    Gill Gimes

  • We wanted to upgrade from Sage 50 to Sage 200 and approached Dayta, who calmly reassured us that our plans could work and offered workable solutions to our more demanding requirements. Dayta delivered the project on time, provided appropriate support to our staff throughout and continue to deliver a professional and knowledgeable service to us. I thoroughly recommend them.
