Charter School Accounting Software for CPAs | HelloBooks Serve charter and private schools from software under your firm’s name. Track grant-funded spending, tuition and board reporting in one branded console.

Charter and private schools

Charter school accounting software on your firm’s branded platform

Charter and small private schools run on public funding, grants, tuition and fundraising, each with its own reporting expectations. Accountants who serve schools help business managers and boards stay ahead of them. The HelloBooks White-Label License lets your firm do that work in software carrying its own name, so school leaders sign in to your platform to see where funds stand.

Funding streams with their own rules

Per-pupil funding, federal and state grants, tuition and parent fundraising all arrive differently and carry different restrictions. Your reviewers tag receipts and the spending they fund, so a grant report can be tied back to the ledger. Your firm and the school remain responsible for grant compliance and public reporting requirements.

Bank reconciliation keeps operating and payroll accounts tied to statements, and AI categorisation handles curriculum, transport and facility bills. Your console shows each school’s close progress and waiting review items, so you know which campus is ready well before board meetings.

  • Tag grant-funded receipts and spending
  • Reconcile operating and payroll accounts
  • Code curriculum, transport and facility costs
  • Deliver board reports on your templates

Boards, business managers and audits

School boards meet on a fixed calendar and expect financials that match the prior packet. Branded reports under your firm’s name give each packet a consistent look, and business managers sign in through your platform rather than juggling logins across several tools.

Annual audits are common for schools. Your firm owns the client data and can export it for auditors, and you can add unlimited staff with no per-seat charges when audit preparation is due, bringing in extra reviewers only for the weeks they are needed.

Education clients at a fee you choose

Each school company is on a published HelloBooks plan, discounted for your firm. HelloBooks bills only your firm. You decide what each school pays and invoice it yourself, which lets you price a single campus differently from a network of schools.

Schools with a separate foundation or facility company can move to higher plans with multi-entity support, keeping each set of books distinct. Founding firms are being accepted now, a fit for practices that already serve education clients and want their own branded platform.

One flat license covers your brand, unlimited staff and the firm console. Your clients stay on published HelloBooks plans, and your firm gets 20% off each one. Founding firms go live first on a firm subdomain; your own domain and email from your domain follow at full launch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can grant spending be traced back to its source?
Yes, when your reviewers tag receipts and related spending during review. The school and your firm remain responsible for grant compliance, allowable cost decisions and any public reporting.
Can business managers log in directly?
Yes. The school can invite its business manager or head of school, who signs in through your firm’s branded page and sees your practice’s name rather than a software vendor’s.
Can we give auditors the records they need?
Yes. Your firm owns the client data and can export it for auditors or oversight bodies, and reports on your templates help the audit team follow the school’s monthly history.
Can a school foundation be kept separate?
Yes. Higher plans support multi-entity books, so a foundation and the school each keep their own ledger while your firm console shows both with their close status.
