Driven to find a better way
The School Cash Suite was first imagined by our founders – two high school office administrators – over 20 years ago, who knew “there had to be a better way”. Picture their school environment: Over 1,400 students, 100 teachers, and an office that wouldn’t stop. On any given day, endless flows of cash, checks, permission forms, and order forms burdened the office staff with time consuming and manual work. The demands of staying on top of every detail were overwhelming. So they took what they knew how to do on paper, and designed an application to automate the process. They didn’t set out to build an accounting solution, or an online payment system, or a comprehensive software suite for that matter, but rather they set out to give back precious time to their peers in similar roles, everywhere… and they succeeded.

Built by education for education
By using the School Cash Suite, school districts big and small benefit from one of the most secure, trusted, and fastest growing software products in public education. The Suite has evolved considerably over the past 20 years, informed and shaped by user feedback, our advisory council, industry leaders in accounting, fraud prevention experts, and educational policy advisors. Because it was designed by school staff for school staff, the Suite simplifies tasks and saves time for all. And because it was well informed by school district finance leaders, it provides the transparency, visibility, reporting capabilities and peace of mind that school district business officials require.
