Tomasz Nowak
Concrete facts instead of paragraphs
Tomasz Nowak is a man who since September 2011 has been making sure that official letters stop being a problem for our clients. At Sgela Education Advocacy, he handles what gives most entrepreneurs a headache: finances and paperwork. You won't find empty promises with him. We lay our cards on the table – if your subsidy application has errors, Tomasz will catch them in 14 minutes before they reach a desk in the board of education.
Over the last 3 years, Tomasz has helped 19 private schools from Lublin and the surrounding area recover a total of 2.17 million PLN in undervalued subsidies. These are not random successes, but the result of scrupulously checking every comma in organizational sheets. Regulations are our field, and Tomasz moves in them more efficiently than many an official with twenty years of experience. We know exactly who picks up the phone in the ministry and what arguments to use so the case gets moving in 7 business days.
- Recovered 342,000 PLN for a primary school in just 5 months.
- Guided 12 EdTech platforms through the ministerial certification process in 2024.
- Shortened average administrative decision wait time from 58 to 23 days.
- Detected errors in subsidy calculation in 94.6% of the facilities he inspected.
Tomasz believes that in the education business, results count, not pretty presentations. Without unnecessary talk about vision – he simply takes your binders and straightens out what the offices tangled up. If you plan to open a new facility or sell software to schools, he will prepare a risk analysis for you in 48 hours. Heads-up: Tomasz tells the truth to your face, even if it's uncomfortable for your accountant.
Privately, he is a fanatic of precision, which is evident in his hobby. Since 1998, he has been restoring mechanical wall clocks. He claims that working with offices requires the same patience and delicate approach to old mechanisms. In the office at 4 Grodzka Street, he always has current regulations and strong coffee at hand, which he gladly offers to anyone tired of fighting bureaucracy.
