Who we are:
We have over thirty-five combined years of school office experience - ranging from office management to head of school and everything in between. We were in the school office before Step Up for Students existed and have been there for every iteration of the SUFS program. We know school finances inside and out. We have experience in all aspects of SUFS administration, creating budgets, daily bookkeeping, payroll, period-end closings, financial reports, board presentations, non-profit accounting, grant compliance (both restricted and unrestricted), agreed-upon procedures compliance, and comprehensive audit compliance. We have used most student information systems, and are pros with accounting software and spreadsheets. Anything you can throw at us, we have probably seen (and more!).
