Every funding source.
One school-wide picture.
Tuition, scholarships and long-term sustainability.
One student. Multiple ways to pay. One financial picture that still has to reconcile.
Talk to our teamTuition, vouchers, financial aid and giving arrive on different schedules, under different rules, and still have to become one reliable monthly picture your board can act on. That reconciliation is where private-school finance quietly breaks, and where we start.

Where a private school's numbers actually go wrong
Rarely in the totals. Almost always in the timing: money committed in one period, received in another, and reported under rules that do not match how the school actually operates.

Program & Enrollment Decisions
What we do for private schools
The same platform as our charter work, spoken in your reporting environment: FASB rather than GASB, Form 990 rather than Red Book, tuition and vouchers rather than FTE.
FASB-standard accounting
Daily processing, reconciliation and a disciplined close built to FASB standards, with every entry reviewed by a dedicated accountant.
Tuition and voucher reconciliation
Scholarship, voucher and financial-aid activity reconciled against enrollment and billing, so the funding picture holds together month to month.
Cash-flow forecasting
Forecasts that respect when money actually arrives, so a strong year on paper does not become a tight month in practice.
Form 990 and audit support
Filing deadlines tracked, risk indicators flagged, and a complete audit trail maintained throughout the year rather than assembled at the end of it.
The rules we work inside
- FASB
- Form 990
- Vouchers
- Financial aid
- Tuition timing
- Restricted gifts
- Florida Statute 1002.421(1)(q), the Step Up AUP
- A school that receives more than $250,000 in scholarship funds in a state fiscal year files an agreed-upon procedures report from an independent CPA, submitted by September 15 to the scholarship-funding organization that awarded the majority of its scholarship funds.
- The AUP exceptions themselves
- Bank reconciliations completed within 60 days of month end and independently reviewed, written segregation-of-duties policies, and a budget approved before July 1. Almost every exception on that template is prevented by a monthly close that actually happens.
- FASB
- Not-for-profit reporting: net assets with and without donor restrictions, and a statement of functional expense your auditor and your board both read.
- Form 990
- A public document. Donors, watchdogs and prospective families can read it, so the records behind it are kept 990-ready all year rather than assembled in the spring.
- FCIS Standard 4
- Accredited schools are required to maintain a total asset-to-total liability ratio of 1.5:1 or higher, alongside a written annual operating budget approved by the board. We track the ratio monthly so the accreditation visit finds no surprises.
The record behind the advice
Forecasting is only worth as much as the accounting underneath it. Ours has run on the same discipline for nearly two decades.
