School Accountant/ School Business Manager Question, please help

[PurplePain]

Hi,

Can anyone give me some tips on school budgets? Are they just a build up of costs (eg salaries, supplies, heating, insurances etc) based on past costs/new estimates?

Income sources? How is the income from government received, quarterly, termly, or annually? Average Weighted Child?

I was a financial controller (ACCA qualified with around 11years experience) before children and am hoping to make the move into educational finance.

Am lacking in confidence, have just ordered this: excel to polish up my rusty skills.

I am grateful for any tips, helps and advice.

Thanks so much,

Purple

Oops I had to go out and forgot to bump earlier, is it too late?

Please. Help me out, isn't there anyone who knows?

I don't know but it is an area I am interested in, so hope someone else might be able to help
