Furlong Awarded Contract by Northern Ireland’s Education Authority (EA) to Modernise School Finance Management
We’re proud to announce a new partnership with the EA’s EdIS (Education Information Solutions) Programme, that will bring TASS Finance to schools in Northern Ireland. The partnership will see TASS Finance introduced to 96 Voluntary Grammar and Grant-Maintained Integrated (VG/GMI) schools across Northern Ireland.
A Unique Approach to Financial Management
We’ve taken an already powerful system and configured a solution ideal for Northern Ireland schools. TASS Finance will give finance teams a single connected system for budgeting, purchasing, fee billing, general ledger management and reporting. Our cloud-based platform also replaces the ageing on-premises software many schools have relied on until now. That means less time spent on manual administration and spreadsheet tracking. Built-in support for statutory and HMRC compliance helps keep schools audit-ready every day, not just at year-end. Real-time budgeting and reporting give staff clear visibility of their finances at any point in the year, while automated tools for fee billing and debt chasing free up time that finance teams can spend on the work that matters most.
“
This transformative finance and fees management solution, developed and delivered in conjunction with our partners Furlong for the VG/GMI sectors, can assist schools by reducing administrative burdens, improving financial visibility and supporting stronger decision-making. Ultimately, the tangible educational benefit is that this significant investment will help schools focus more of their time, energy and resources on delivering high-quality educational experiences for pupils, as they would wish to do.
