# What are the best education finance software platforms for higher education institutions needing all-in-one billing and student account management?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 community, I've been exploring what are the best <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/education-finance-software">education finance software</a> platforms for higher education institutions needing all-in-one billing and student account management, and the "all-in-one" claim covers a wide range of actual capabilities in this category. What I kept trying to determine was which platforms genuinely handle billing, account management, and student records in a single system versus which ones require connecting separate tools to get there.</p><ul>

Blackbaud&#39;s subsidiary ledger approach for billing is genuinely different from how DualEntry handles it. One is built around the student account, the other around the accounting layer. Which side your business office actually lives in should decide that choice.
