Why schools love our budgeting software
Access Education Finance and Budgeting has transformed the day-to-day running of the finance department. The system is particularly user friendly for non-finance staff. Teachers can keep track of their spend versus budget from the beach during the summer holidays, should they wish!
The scenario planning feature of the Access Budgeting software has been invaluable - especially during lockdown, as it was important to monitor any increased expenditure for Covid-19 and be able to report this information to the governing board.
The software has massively improved budgeting efficiency across maintained schools in the borough. It’s as easy as managing your own bank account. Cloud-based software removes any of the risk associated with spreadsheets, staff turnover and doing aspects of budgeting manually
