School Accounting

School accounting that doesn't need a separate Tally file reconciled every month

Fee collection, staff payroll, and day-to-day expenses all flow into one ledger, so your management committee gets a real financial picture without waiting for month-end reconciliation.

Unified income & expense ledger

Fee collection and operating expenses sit in the same books — no separate spreadsheet to merge later.

Payroll-linked accounting

Staff salaries post directly from payroll runs, without manual journal entries.

Ready-to-present reports

Income statements and expense breakdowns your management committee or trust board can actually review.

Audit-friendly records

Every transaction is timestamped and traceable back to its source — fee receipt, payroll run, or expense entry.
