Childcare Center Accounting Software for CPAs | HelloBooks Keep daycare and early learning center books under your firm’s brand. Track tuition, subsidy payments, staff costs and food program spending monthly.

Childcare and early learning centers

Childcare center accounting software, branded as your firm

Childcare centers collect weekly tuition from families, receive subsidy payments on a different schedule and spend most of their revenue on staff. Accountants who serve daycare and early learning centers keep that cash flow visible for owners who spend their days with children. The HelloBooks White-Label License lets your firm do it in software bearing its own name, where directors sign in to your platform.

Tuition, subsidies and registration fees

Families pay weekly or monthly, some by card and some by transfer, while subsidy agencies remit in batches. Your reviewers record tuition, registration fees and subsidy payments in their own accounts, and bank reconciliation confirms each deposit. AI categorisation handles food, classroom supplies and cleaning costs.

Centers appear in your console with their close progress and whatever is queued for review. Your team can see which director still needs to send subsidy remittance detail, and follow up before a delayed batch leaves the month’s tuition picture incomplete.

  • Separate tuition, fees and subsidy income
  • Reconcile family and agency deposits
  • Code food, supply and cleaning costs
  • Send directors a branded monthly report

Staffing costs and program reporting

Staff-to-child ratios drive the largest cost in a center. Clean payroll and benefit records let your firm show owners how enrollment changes affect margin. Food program reimbursements and grant reporting carry their own requirements, and your firm and the center remain responsible for meeting them.

Owners with more than one center often keep each in a separate company for licensing reasons. Higher plans support multi-entity books, and your firm can add reviewers without per-seat charges when enrollment season brings a wave of questions from every director.

Early education fees under your brand

Each center stays on a published HelloBooks plan, with your firm discount applied on every client plan. HelloBooks bills your practice, never the center. You set the monthly bookkeeping fee and invoice directors directly, keeping the arrangement simple for busy owners.

Center data belongs to your firm and can be exported for licensing reviews, lenders or a sale to a larger provider, with the full history intact. Founding firms are welcome to join now, particularly practices already serving several early learning centers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can subsidy payments be separated from tuition?
Yes. Your reviewers record subsidy agency payments in their own income account, so directors see how much of their revenue comes from families and how much from programs.
Does HelloBooks file food program claims?
No. HelloBooks records the related income and spending. Food program claims, grant reporting and licensing requirements remain with the center and your firm to prepare and submit.
Can a group of centers be managed together?
Yes. Each center can be its own company, higher plans support multi-entity books and your firm console lists every center with its close status and review items.
Will center directors see our brand?
Yes. Directors sign in through your firm’s branded page and see your app name, logo and colours, with every monthly report delivered on your document templates.
