Module 01 · Fee Management PRO

Bill families, record payments and send statements

Fee Management is the billing engine for your preschool. Set up your fee items once, build combined family billing accounts and learner fee profiles, then run monthly billing from draft to approved and out goes a clean invoice and PDF. Track full and partial payments, send statements, and see exactly who owes what.

Module 02 · Finance Operations PRO

Reconcile your bank and keep your accountant happy

Finance Operations covers the money moving in and out of the school. Add your bank accounts, import statements as CSV, Excel or OFX, and match payments with reconciliation suggestions you confirm. Capture expenses with receipts, route them through approvals, and keep suppliers and categories tidy — then hand your accountant a one-click month-end pack.

Module 03 · Petty Cash PRO

Account for every rand of cash on site

Petty Cash brings the cash box into the open. Set up boxes and floats, capture expenses and top-ups, and require a second person to approve. Run cash counts that explain any variance, let staff raise cash requests, and bundle receipts into packs — so the petty cash tin finally balances.

Module 04 · AI Finance Assistant PRO

A finance helper that suggests, never decides

The AI Finance Assistant is an extra pair of eyes over your fees and finance operations. It suggests payment matches, expense categories, anomalies worth checking, reminder drafts and month-end summaries — but it never moves money and never sends anything on its own. Every suggestion lands in an AI review inbox, behind a POPIA consent gate, and you approve each action.

Money you can trust, with guardrails on every step

The Finance Suite is designed so that nothing important happens by accident, and you can always show exactly what was done and by whom.

Every money action is audited

Fee runs, payments, expenses, reconciliations and petty cash entries are all recorded in a full audit trail, so you can answer "who did this, and when" without guessing.

Approvals on expenses & petty cash

Expenses and petty cash entries can route through an approval workflow, and petty cash can require a second person, so one person never controls the cash on their own.

The AI only suggests — behind POPIA consent

The AI Finance Assistant proposes, it never acts. Every suggestion waits in a review inbox for a person to approve, and it runs behind a POPIA consent gate with no personal information in its audit.

Practise risk-free in the Training School

Learn fee runs, reconciliation, expenses and petty cash in a Safe Training School sandbox you can reset any time, without touching a single real record.

Finance Suite questions, answered

No. The Finance Suite is built for preschool principals and office staff, not accountants. Everything is in plain English, with on-screen "About this screen" help in English and Afrikaans, sensible defaults, and an optional AI helper that suggests the next step. You can practise risk-free in the Safe Training School before touching real data.
No — EarlyTrack is not a payment gateway. Parents keep paying your school directly the way they already do (usually EFT, or cash). The Finance Suite records and reconciles those payments: you capture what was paid, or import your bank statement and match each deposit, and balances and statements update automatically. EarlyTrack never collects, holds or processes parents' money.
No. The AI Finance Assistant only suggests. It can propose payment matches, expense categories, anomalies to check, reminder drafts and month-end summaries, but it never moves money, never sends a message, and never changes a record on its own. Every suggestion lands in an AI review inbox, and a person approves each action. It runs behind a POPIA consent gate.
You can import bank statements as CSV, Excel or OFX files. EarlyTrack reads the transactions, removes duplicates, and helps you match them to fee payments and expenses, with suggestions you confirm. Matching is deterministic first, so you stay in control of every reconciliation.
Yes. Every money action is recorded in a full audit trail, finance access is role-based (View, Capture, Manage and Full), and receipts and statements are stored securely. The AI runs behind a POPIA consent gate with no personal information written to its audit, so you can show exactly who did what and when.
Yes. The Safe Training School is a sandbox you can enter, use and reset without affecting any real school. It is the recommended way to learn fee runs, reconciliation, expenses, petty cash and the AI assistant before working on live data, and you can restart it any time.
Yes. The full Finance Suite ships with the Professional plan and is priced per school in South African Rand. The 14-day free trial gives you full Professional access, including the complete Finance Suite, with no credit card required. See plans and pricing for the details.
