This brochure shows how international school groups replace manual, spreadsheet-based finance processes with a single automated system across every campus, currency, and entity. It’s built around five real operational challenges, each paired with a proven solution that TRG has successfully implemented for education clients.

## What do we have inside?

We take you through our solutions in action using easy-to-understand diagrams rather than walls of text, including how to:

-   Allocate shared HR, IT, and facilities costs across campuses by student headcount instead of fixed percentages, in a single automated run
-   Record and depreciate high-volume asset purchases (e.g., 200-unit iPad rollouts) without a shadow Excel ledger
-   Connect student MIS, payroll, and procurement systems directly to your general ledger without manual CSV exports
-   Manage AR for 5,000+ students without bloating your Chart of Accounts
-   Consolidate ESG data (energy, water, waste, diversity) alongside financial reporting in one system

## In their own words: Saigon South International School on moving off spreadsheets.

The finance team at Saigon South International School used to spend most of their time building and validating spreadsheets rather than analyzing financial performance. At the moment, everything has changed.

MS. THU NGUYEN – Finance Director shared that ” Now, we have better financial reporting, and our accounts don’t need to work on as many spreadsheets. We can use SunSystems as a single data warehouse to provide more insightful and meaningful reports for the management.”
