School Accounting Software

One thing I dislike about Xero is that some advanced features are limited compared to full ERP systems. For larger or more complex businesses, customization options and detailed inventory management could be improved.

However, for small and medium-sized businesses, Xero still works very efficiently and meets most daily accounting needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Xero easy to use, saving time through automation, especially with invoices and bank reconciliation. Its reporting features make generating and understanding profit and loss statements and balance sheets simple, reducing the need for many workers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For someone who has never used a financial system before, the learning curve is steep. Understandably with the product tailored more towards the US market, some terminologies do take some getting used to, but it is just a case of learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system allows you to fixate on the elements of your business that other smaller software cannot tailor to. Because of the sheer level of customization, my processes can be exactly how I need them to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some areas where improvement is required. Due to the depth of features, new users may face a learning curve, which can affect ease of use during the initial phase. Implementation timelines may extend when advanced customizations or multiple integrations are involved, and simplifying setup and navigation would improve user adoption.

Customer support response times can sometimes vary based on issue priority and support plans, and faster resolution would enhance the overall experience. Additionally, system performance optimization and more intuitive configuration options would help ensure smoother daily usage and better utilization of features.

NetSuite solves the problem of managing multiple finance and accounting processes across different systems by bringing everything onto a single, integrated platform. It improves data accuracy, real-time visibility, and control over financial operations such as reporting, reconciliations, compliance, and audits. By automating workflows and centralizing information, NetSuite reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, and helps in faster and more informed decision-making.

OpenEduCat is powerful, but it is not plug and play. Schools without in-house IT support may find that:

Customization takes time because everything is modular

The interface, while functional, could be more polished and modern

Some advanced analytics especially around student performance trends require additional configuration

Institutions with complex reporting needs may need optional add ons or custom modules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenEduCat is an excellent choice for schools and universities seeking a scalable, modular, and economically sensible education ERP suite. While it may require some configuration and customization, the platform’s flexibility and cost efficiency make it a strong contender in the education technology space.

If I had one wish, it would be even more customization options. But honestly, compared to where we were before, this feels like a completely different world. TUIO didn’t just make donations easier; it gave us confidence to focus on our students instead of chasing paper trails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first time we ran a campaign with TUIO, I remember looking at the dashboard and realizing—I wasn’t anxious. I could see everything in one place—secure transactions, instant receipts, and reports I could actually trust. For the first time, fundraising didn’t feel like pushing papers around—it felt like we were working together with families. If I could ask for just one extra thing, there would be a few more ways to customize the setup, but honestly, the ease it’s already brought us is priceless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The newest update no longer allows me to stay signed in for periods of time (longer than an hour). Nor can I have the computer remember my password, so any substitute that comes in has to have the password to get in (which compromises safety). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I no longer have to use my memory to try to remember who has what book. I can also easily see when books were checked out and who has them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only minor issue is the occasional lag in updates when a lot of people are working in FloQast at once, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Also, the setup and customization phase can take a bit of time to fine-tune Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FloQast helps solve the challenges of tracking close tasks across multiple properties and entities. Before using it, our team relied on manual spreadsheets and email reminders, which made it hard to stay organized and meet deadlines. Now, everything is centralized — I can clearly see what’s been completed, what’s pending, and who’s responsible. It’s also made reviews and reconciliations much faster and easier to track. Overall, FloQast has reduced stress during month-end, improved accountability, and saved us a ton of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally it might be difficult to get support right away at certain times of the day, particularly around August but I figured that is normal given how many of the schools typically start around that time. If you can't get a representative immediately, they will at least take down your info and email you later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ClassLink helps take our current school roster information from our SIS and sends out that data to our various educational software vendors for student use. It also automatically configures login info so students can do SSO without memorizing numerous passwords. It saves us a lot of time in setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few system quirks that can be quite troublesome, and I found that Intuit support was not very effective in resolving them. We experienced problems with our payroll not posting correctly, and no one seemed able to identify the cause. It took several months of making manual corrections before the issue was finally resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software streamlines our daily accounting tasks, making them much quicker to complete. As a small nonprofit with limited administrative staff, we rely on QBO to help us efficiently manage over 40 actively funded projects, even though we have only a few resources available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few workflows could be even more streamlined, but overall things work well. Integrations are improving quickly, and the support team is excellent whenever we need guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple solutions combined in one product which includes accounting, cloud, e-commerce, document management and much more. It's a single point for multiple needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to add here as I found the platform to be very intuitive and user friendly. Team has been prompt with their assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company facilitates peer-to-peer lending and we are perhaps the largest in the country. So naturally we handle a large number of transactions on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. This leads to a lot of data being generated. To manage and reconcile this data, we are using Kosh. The platform has features like monitoring unresolved transactions and generating customs reports which my team and I find extremely beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have yet to experience a downside of using Campfire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consolidating and reporting multiple legal entities with numerous currencies was a headache, and expensive, in Netsuite. Campfire makes it easy and fun! Additionally, Campfire has a dashboard with KPIs that are relevant to my business that I can actually trust. This makes internal and external reporting much easier and less stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t much to complain about, though I have noticed that loading larger datasets can occasionally take a bit of time, but that's normal for any software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DualEntry helps us keep our project and financial records consistent between different systems. Before using it, we had to manually enter the same data in multiple places, which often led to errors or missing information. Now, everything updates automatically, so our job costs, invoices, and reports stay accurate and up to date. It saves us a lot of time and helps us avoid confusion between the office and the field. Overall, it’s made our workflow smoother and a lot more reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that my phone does not ring when parents call me back. I wish it would notify when they are calling so that I could reach out to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SchoolStatus to record calls and send mass texts to parents, protecting my privacy. It ensures high-quality communication and simplifies parent contact. However, it lacks call-back notifications from parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although FreshBooks does a great job with ease of use, the reporting features could be more advanced for those who want deeper insights into financial trends. I’d also like a bit more flexibility when customizing invoices and dashboards. Additionally, the cost may feel high for freelancers or very small businesses on a tight budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FreshBooks helps me save time by simplifying invoicing, expense tracking, and payment collection all in one place. Instead of juggling spreadsheets or multiple tools, I can manage client billing, track time, and stay on top of cash flow quickly and accurately. It reduces errors, keeps everything organized, and ensures I get paid faster. This efficiency lets me focus more on growing my business instead of being stuck in administrative tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I maybe have some reservations about how the reports are currently being presented. It would be beneficial if there were improvements in the presentation of reports, particularly with the inclusion of tutorials or features that cater to specific needs such as manufacturing accounts.

I handle many clients and manage invoicing efficiently without worrying about backups due to online backup and convenient reconciliation features, enhancing my accounting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We found that implementing the core functionality of One to One Plus was quick and straightforward, getting us up and running right away. However, to truly maximize its power and align it perfectly with our unique operational needs, the fine-tuning and customization phase required a little more time and detailed effort. The result is a system that isn't just functional, but perfectly tailored to our organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One to One Plus doesn't just manage assets; it helps us solve problems faster and with greater insight. The system allows us to instantly create and issue invoices for device damages, which has been a major boost to accountability.

More critically, its centralized ticket management is key: we can now quickly view a device’s complete ticket history to immediately identify if an issue is a brand new event or an ongoing, recurring problem. This historical data, combined with the ease of use and fantastic customer support, ensures we can get our assets fully under control and keep our daily operations running smoothly.

It can be a bit clunky at times, and to get any customization/changes done on the system can be a bit challenging Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The approval mapping feature has saved us a significant amount of time and energy, especially since our structure is quite complex with various projects and subaccounts. With Acumatica, AP items are sent directly to the appropriate approving manager, who can easily access all the information needed to review and approve them.

While Access UBS is robust, some features could be more intuitive for new users, particularly for advanced investment tools. Additional integration options with external accounting or portfolio management software would also improve workflow efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Access UBS solves the problem of fragmented financial management by consolidating banking, investment, and account monitoring in a single platform. This saves time, reduces errors, and improves visibility into financial performance. For me, it has made managing multiple accounts and investments simpler, faster, and more organized.
