How One School Transformed School Finance Workload with Sage Intacct

After nearly 15 years of relying on the same finance system, the leadership team at Thomas Mills High School & Sixth Form recognised the need for change. Faced with mounting operational challenges and rapidly evolving needs the school set out to modernise its finance operations and explore new options for improvement.

Key challenges included:

• Limited audit capabilities, making compliance and oversight more difficult
• Manual workflows, including printing and signing off invoices and orders
• Lack of real-time financial data, delaying decision-making and reporting
• Inflexible reporting tools, unable to meet the needs of various stakeholders

In 2024, the school made a decisive move forward in its digital transformation journey by implementing Sage Intacct, a cloud-based financial management system, in partnership with Schools’ Choice. The goal was to modernise financial operations with a futureproof solution that could scale with the school’s needs.

By replacing outdated systems with a modern, cloud-based platform, Thomas Mills has:

• Eliminated manual bottlenecks
• Gained access to real-time financial insights
• Improved compliance and audit readiness
• Empowered staff with flexible, intuitive reporting tools
