How to make budgeting for next year a breeze.

Budget setting for next year should be timetabled from late-term three onwards. It doesn't have to be stressful or time-consuming - Yasmin and Stephen in the CES finance team can help you get it sorted.

Some of our clients traditionally set their own budgets, but did you know we can assist in this process? 

Our level of involvement can range from input for selected accounting based items (such as depreciation and maintenance provision) to attending budget setting meetings or reviewing draft budgets. Our focus is on making life easier for you with expert and friendly advice. 

If you'd like to have a chat about how we can help with your budgeting for next year, just get in touch. It's a good idea to think about it now before you get stuck into the budgeting process later in the term.  Get in touch on 03 338 4444.


See your accounts, transactions, budgets and results in real time.

The CES website has a school finance login where our financial service clients can view their school's accounts in real time. This includes a view of transactions, budgets, financial results and a history of supplier transactions for those processed by CES. 

It is a great resource and schools that use it find it invaluable. 

We now also have the ability to upload both monthly and annual accounts. Financial service clients will see these come through over the coming months. This promises to be a further great resource for our clients helping them to better understand and manage their school finances and make the money go further - and we all want that.      

PLUS: You can even download your monthly and annual accounts from the financial login platform whenever you need to. We'd be happy to show you how. 

If you're not using the school finance login on our website, get in touch with the client with the CES client finance team Yasmin, Stephen or Murray on 03 338 4444.
