ScholaBook accounts overview with income, expense and campus finance signals
Accounts-office overview — income, expenses and campus finance context.

Can your accounts office answer these today?

Owners and accounts teams need one reliable view of money in and money out—not fee books in one place and expenses in another.

Where do fee receipts and expense records actually live?

In one school finance system—or across notebooks, Excel and chat screenshots.

Can you reconcile collections against demand without a weekend spreadsheet?

Demand, collected and pending amounts should stay connected to the same fee ledger.

Are vendor bills and school expenses trackable beside fee income?

Accounts teams need expense categories and vendor context in the same office workflow.

Can owners see campus finance signals without waiting on a rebuilt pack?

Collection and finance reports should start from live school data, not a monthly rebuild.

The finance modules accounts teams actually run

Six connected areas—from the fee ledger to campus finance context—so accounts work stays inside the school office system.

  1. Fee transaction ledger

    Review fee and related school transactions in one ledger instead of stitching receipts across tools.

  2. Fee reconciliation

    Connect demanded fees, collections and pending dues so follow-up starts from live school data.

  3. Expenses

    Record school expenses with categories used in day-to-day accounts work.

  4. Vendors and bills

    Keep vendor and outstanding-bill context with school finance records where the school uses those workflows.

  5. Finance reports

    Produce collection and finance reports for owners, principals and accounts teams.

  6. Campus finance context

    Work with campus-scoped finance visibility when a school runs more than one campus.

Fee ledger

Fee transactions in one ledger—not a second spreadsheet

Keep fee collections, receipt numbers and payment history available for accounts follow-up. For the full fee collection and dues walkthrough, see school fee management.

  • Shared with expense and bill workflows
  • Campus-scoped supplier records for accounts teams

  • Expense-by-category and collection report options

Access control for school finance data

Fee ledgers, expenses and payment history need role boundaries—not open office shared sheets.

  • Role-based permissions for accounts and admin users
  • Campus-scoped visibility when multi-campus is enabled
  • Authenticated staff areas separate from the public marketing site
  • Transaction history retained for office follow-up and audit questions

For hosting, certifications, and infrastructure detail, ask during evaluation. This section covers role and access controls in the product. See the Privacy Policy for how personal data is handled.
