The #1 Sage Partner for Independent Schools
Trusted by over 40 MATs and 500 schools...
Late nights, endless reconciliation, and lots of manual work (fuelled by plenty of coffee).
Sound familiar? If so, the good news is, it doesn’t have to stay that way!
Managing school fees is complex, but with the right education accounting software in place, billing students and tracking payments accurately can happen with minimal manual input and far less stress.
So, what makes that possible?
Sage Intacct for Education is a leading AI-powered, cloud-based financial management system that’s transforming how schools operate across the UK. One of the many reasons it’s such a popular choice is its ability to bridge the gap between accounting and billing, connecting the two for smarter, more efficient workflows.
Read on to discover how Sage Intacct integrates seamlessly with popular fee billing systems like iSAMS, making finance teams’ lives a whole lot easier.
School finances are often complex, but the right approach makes them easier to manage
Schools have a lot on their plates when it comes to managing finances.
Most rely on several different systems to keep things running: a fee billing system for handling tuition fees, a Management Information System (MIS) for tracking enrolment and attendance, and an accounting system for managing finances.
That’s a lot to juggle (and a lot of pressure on finance teams to get everything right).
To make things trickier, these systems don’t always talk to each other. Fee billing software often sits apart from financial systems, leading to hours spent manually entering data and reconciling figures.
The result? Disconnected systems that eat up admin time, leave room for human error, limit visibility, and often mean working with out-of-date information.
And let’s be honest, the last thing any school needs is inaccurate financial records.
With independent schools navigating an increasingly turbulent landscape, from additional VAT costs to the sharp drop in enrolments reported by the Independent School Council, having data you can trust isn’t just helpful. It’s essential for adapting quickly and thriving in the years ahead.
All of this makes it crucial for finance teams to have a centralised system that provides a clear, accurate picture of their financial health.
Sounds too good to be true? It isn’t! Bear with us.
