Clear accounts, simple approvals, better budgets

Fee income, salaries, vendor payments, utility bills and petty cash all need to be recorded accurately. When they are kept in separate books, it is hard to see the school's real financial position or plan next year's budget.

The finance module of Ultimate School Manager records income and expenses in one place, links automatically to fees and payroll, and gives management the reports they need for decisions and annual budgeting.

Key Features

Income tracking

Fee collections and other income are recorded automatically or entered in one place.

Expense management

Record expenses with categories, bills and payment details; fill them in on the move.

Approval workflow

Route expenses for approval so spending is controlled and documented.

Budgeting

Use accumulated income and expense data to plan your annual budget.

Linked with fees and payroll

Fee and salary data flows into accounts without double entry.

Financial reports

Income, expense and category-wise reports for management and audits.

Expense vouchers

Print receipts, donations, income and expenses in one school layout. An expense is issued as an expense voucher.

Cashbook you can trust

Cashbook totals stay consistent, and income, expense and donation entries keep an audit trail instead of disappearing on delete.

Due balance on the receipt

Search and cancel screens show the due balance on the receipt itself, so accounts staff do not open a second page.


How It Works

  1. Set up income and expense categories.
  2. Fee collections and salaries are recorded automatically from other modules.
  3. Staff submit expenses, which go through approval.
  4. Management reviews reports and plans the budget.
