For 30 years, KEV has been on a mission to bring complete visibility and control to school finances; because when it comes to student funds, you can’t protect what you can’t see.
Purpose-built for K-12 bookkeepers and their district finance teams, we give schools the tools to manage every dollar while empowering everyone in the school community with a better experience—so they can focus on what matters most: student outcomes and achievement.
Picture this: It’s 1996. Two school bookkeepers, Kim and Evelyn, struggle with a daily grind that’s all too familiar—staying late to count endless cash from pizza sales, chasing down missing field trip money, wrestling with reconciliation that never seemed to balance… the list goes on.
When another bookkeeper asked them to build a budget program, they discovered something shocking: Everything on the market was for certified accountants and certainly not built with schools in mind.
“That’s when we realized: no one was solving this the way we needed. So we decided to build it ourselves,”
– Evelyn Eagle, Co-Founder
Working around a kitchen table in Kim’s basement along with fellow educators from their school system, Kim and Evelyn taught themselves to code, one line at a time. Their first innovation, the “calculating deposit form,” cut cash counting time almost in half.
Word spread quickly. After going “school-to-school,” sharing their solutions with neighboring school districts, what started as a basement project began growing into something much bigger.
Today, KEV Group is trusted by 26,000+ K-12 schools to protect $4+ billion in student funds across North America—built by people who lived your reality.
From basement startup to industry leader—here’s how we’ve transformed K-12 finance management one milestone at a time.
Where it all began: What started in a Toronto basement with two bookkeepers and a simple school banking tool became something bigger. KEV moved to the cloud and created an entirely new category: K-12 school finance software.

“KEV saves us time and works for our bookkeepers. We have more control over funds, which is very important because we were collecting $2 million per year in cash from our schools.”

“We set up 95 schools in three months. We pretty much used SchoolCash right out of the box.”
