How it started

Account Tree was developed from a real need from a real school system. 

 

Our co-founder Tom was contacted by his brother, a school principal, and he was looking for a solution for tracking Student Activity Funds. Tom developed a spreadsheet to help make the process easier. Once other schools in the district got wind of it, he was asked to duplicate the spreadsheets for the entire district.

 

Since tracking Student Activity Funds is mandatory, Tom figured there must be a software solution out there, but his research surprised him. He found that although auditors require Student Activity Funds to be tracked, they were recommending complicated accounting software to track them. This software can be difficult to learn even if you are a trained bookkeeper or accountant. For most schools these accounting options failed the usability test, but it was all that was out there.

 

And so, Account Tree was created by Tom and Kevin. This software is not only easy to use, but meets the needs at the school, district and even the auditor's levels.
