Accounting errors are a serious threat to schools nationwide.

Consider the University Laboratory High School in Urbana, Illinois. This otherwise successful school accidentally ran a one million-plus deficit in 2014 because it was withdrawing from the wrong account.

Errors like this can put a school out of business.

Historically, most schools have defaulted to using general accounting software. But, this type of software has its limitations, and can’t be tailored to suit school administration needs such as student fee collection, online storefront accounting, and teacher/parent communication.

School administrators need to be able to track fund allocation, and integrate this information with student records. When schools use multiple software systems to achieve that goal, unnecessary steps and human error are almost guaranteed.

With all this in mind, we gathered six school accounting software options to help you address budget issues at your school. We’ve got a quick overview of each option—including a list of features—to help you make the right decision.

Let’s get started!
