Case Study: Swakeleys School for Girls improves academy financial reporting with IRIS Financials

Swakeleys School for Girls - Customer Case Study

Swakeleys School for Girls, a high-achieving academy, faced challenges with financial reporting and control after converting from local authority control. Their previous system required manual data manipulation and was not a double-entry accounting system, making it unsuitable for their new academy status. To address this, the school selected IRIS Software Group and implemented their IRIS Financials product.

The solution provided by IRIS Software Group included user-friendly, flexible software and comprehensive training and support. The implementation was completed in under 11 weeks, resulting in real-time financial reporting, a streamlined procurement process, and a significantly faster audit that finished three weeks early. The integration with third-party systems like ParentPay also enabled a fully cashless catering system. The school achieved much greater accuracy in budgeting and saved a considerable amount of time for its finance team.
