Case Study: Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form achieves a paperless, streamlined finance department with Access Group’s Education Finance & Budgeting

Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form - Customer Case Study

Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form, a diverse secondary school in North Hackney, faced administrative bottlenecks from paper-based finance processes that slowed approvals and stretched resources—especially across a large site and during the move to homeworking. To tackle this, the school adopted Access Group’s Access Education Finance and Budgeting to modernise its finance function.

Access Group implemented a fully digital, paperless finance system that lets staff upload receipts and invoices, add comments and authorisations, and create unlimited user profiles for remote working. The solution integrated finance with budgeting to give the Head of Finance a clear overview, eliminate bottlenecks, prevent costly errors and free up staff time—resulting in smoother operations, better resource allocation and a seamless transition to homeworking.
