School finance

School accounting software that reaches beyond fee balances.

Schoolbooks connects the transaction that happened, the person who approved it, the evidence that supports it, and the financial result. Finance teams can close the period from a controlled workflow instead of reconstructing it from messages and spreadsheets.

  • Move from student billing to a complete double-entry accounting picture.

  • Keep procurement, payroll, assets, and operational evidence beside the books.

  • Make reconciliations and period close visible, owned, and reproducible.

  • Give leaders current reports with a path back to each underlying decision.

Why Schoolbooks

Connected records. Clear control. Less reconstruction.

Complete financial context

Connect receivables, collections, bank and cash activity, journals, payables, budgets, and reporting to the operational records that created them.

Controls without hidden spreadsheets

Use assignments, approvals, review notes, period controls, and reversals while preserving the earlier state and responsible actor.

Audit evidence that stays attached

Keep invoices, receipts, quotations, purchase orders, contracts, payroll evidence, and comments with the entries and workflows they explain.

01 · Workflow

Know what the school is owed

Build learner invoices and fee structures, track collections and adjustments, and separate genuine balances from payments that still need review.

  • Age receivables and keep follow-up ownership visible.
  • Preserve allocation and adjustment evidence.
  • Connect collections to the ledger after controlled review.

02 · Workflow

Control what the school spends

Connect requests, quotations, orders, receipts, inspections, supplier bills, approvals, and payments so the liability can be explained before it is settled.

  • Use budget and approval context before commitment.
  • Keep three-way-match evidence with the supplier transaction.
  • Trace inventory and asset outcomes from the original purchase.

03 · Workflow

Close and report with confidence

Track reconciliation, review, exceptions, adjustments, and reporting periods as a visible process with accountable owners.

  • Reproduce reports from controlled accounting periods.
  • Review management reports by workspace and financial dimension.
  • Correct mistakes through durable reversals rather than overwritten history.
