setting up your reporting for success in the new fiscal year
by Kaitlin Windle, Apte
Managing a school's finances requires more than just setting annual goals; it demands understanding how financial performance unfolds each month. Traditional budgeting methods often split the annual budget equally across all months. Due to the seasonality of a school’s tuition collection, fundraising efforts and more, not having a budget curve can significantly distort your understanding of performance.
