This includes fiscal management, budgeting, compliance, facility maintenance, human resources, student recruitment and enrollment, marketing, community outreach, and IT support. Your school’s partnership with us and the resulting oversight structure allows the principal and their team to focus on academic instruction and student success. They can do so secure in the knowledge that the business side of the school is being handled by seasoned finance and operations professionals.
