Why customers love our finance software
Before implementing the Access Finance software we were using Capita FMS. The transition has been like switching from a penny farthing to a racing bicycle, everything is so much quicker and the system is far more intuitive to use!
The ability to integrate Access Education Finance with Budgets provides me with a brilliant overview of the school’s finances and helps me quickly identify any worrying trends or oversights that need attention. As well as preventing any costly errors, it also ensures we can allocate resources in the best possible manner - ensuring every pupil gets the education they deserve.
From a whole trust perspective, we can now work much more efficiently since implementing the Access software.
Access software has helped streamline our processes. Downloading the required reports across our 45 sites, now takes around a day per month and without the software this would take much longer.
Access Education Finance saves me a huge amount of time and I feel empowered to carry out my role successfully and confidently. The ease of use and the familiar layout of each page is fantastic.
Being able to generate reports easily saves us many hours of trying to piece together information from different spreadsheets. I know the Trustees and Governors have been impressed.
What I have found with Access is how easy everything is, from the sales team to the help desk – everyone is really easy to talk to and willing to help. I like the development portal which I feel has really allowed Access to grasp how I see their software now and in the future. That makes me feel really valued as a customer.
