School and Trust finance teams are under pressure to deliver more impact, more insights and more efficiency than ever. SBS Financial Planner sets The MAT Standard—a budgeting solution built with Trust finance leaders to provide clarity, consistency and confidence across every school.
Designed specifically for MATs, the software brings together pupil forecasting, budgeting, reporting and scenario planning into one intuitive, MAT-led space. With automated templates, consolidated Trust reporting and powerful in-year monitoring, finance teams can work faster, reduce errors and make decisions backed by real-time insights.
But great tools only go so far without the right support around them. That’s why SBS offers a full wrap-around Finance Support Service. Whether you need short-term interim cover, a finance system health check, ongoing access to our Finance Service Desk, or a processing assistant to free leaders to focus on strategy, our team gives you the specialist expertise you need—when you need it.
For teams wanting a reliable partner who can strengthen daily operations as well as long-term planning, SBS brings together the best of technology and hands-on support.
