Overview...
If your school finds itself without a Finance staff member in post, The ICT Service can arrange an initial practical live remote session to support you to actually carry out and complete any immediate and urgent financial tasks your school has. We can then work with you to determine your needs and arrange further bespoke sessions to carefully train a member of your staff to continue to fulfill the financial duties required to cover day-to-day requirements.
There can be several reasons why your school may be without a member of Finance staff to carry out day-to-day tasks that are required. Anything from a sickness absence, maternity leave or recruitment periods between appointments might leave invoices piling up, suppliers needing to be paid or reports needing export.
The ICT Service provides training to upskill an existing member of staff to enable them to cover daily finance tasks and keep things ‘ticking over’ until your finance staff position is filled once more. This training session could well be a cost-effective alternative to expensive Agency support staff for temporary or emergency cover.
Our trainers can ensure a staff member in your school is able to access and use FMS software at times when you do not have a finance post filled. We are here to help you through the stop gaps and emergency cover periods.
FMS is the most common and very powerful finance software in operation in Cambridgeshire, it:
- operates independently to SIMS and other MIS software such as Scholar Pack and Arbour (which are also supported by The ICT Service).
- records all supplier information and transactions, which can be viewed at the press of a button.
- records all Purchase Order commitments.
- records and creates invoice information (four types).
- produces cheque runs and BACS file payments.
Contact us to request training for your staff when you need it. Our Level 1 session is just £250 and we will provide you with a quote to cover any further session requirements for your school individually.
