A Service Domain
Finance and Operations
Budgets, books, payroll, purchasing, and grants. The part of running a school where being close is the same as being wrong.
On Your Side of the Line
What This Looks Like on Your Side of the Line
You keep the authority. Your board still approves the budget, and you still decide what your school spends its money on. What you hand over is the execution and the exposure that comes with it. Books are kept to charter school requirements year round rather than reconstructed in the weeks before an audit. Payroll runs. Purchasing goes through people who negotiate on behalf of a network of schools instead of one. And when a grant is worth pursuing, someone whose job is grant writing pursues it.
Named, One by One
The Services
Every service in this domain, named with what it actually covers.
Accounting and Bookkeeping
Books kept current and to charter school standards, so an audit is a review rather than a reconstruction.
Financial Management and Budgeting
Budget development, financial reporting, cash flow management, and audit preparation, built around what your authorizer requires.
Payroll Processing
Payroll run accurately and on time, with the tax and reporting obligations that come attached to it.
Procurement and Vendor Management
Sourcing, contracts, and vendor relationships coordinated centrally, so your school buys well and always knows who is accountable for what.
Grant Writing and Management
Identifying, applying for, and administering federal, state, and private grants, including the reporting that follows an award.
The Relationship
Who You Talk To
Your regional director, with your school's assigned accountant and the finance team behind them.
