Anytime cloud access
We’ve moved our finance products to the cloud so you’ll get the security of our platinum-hosted cloud solution, automatic software updates and anytime, anywhere access. Don’t worry, we’ve kept the same database structure, so you won’t lose any of your historical data.
"With FNG Reporting, tasks that once took hours are now completed in minutes. The user-friendly interface simplifies report generation, enables easy data filtering, and eliminates the need for reformatting."
Sharon Underhay, Business Manager, Newton Farm Nursery, Infant & Junior School
Reporting made easy
Finance Next Gen Reporting gives you the reporting power of FMS, simplified and with a whole new look. Your daily, weekly, monthly reports are now even easier, giving you more hours in the day.
We’ve grouped reports into key categories like Ledger Code and Cost Centre, and you can drill down into each of them to get the data you need without running multiple reports. You can also compare historical data, like year-on-year or current and previous quarter.
From 2025 our new AI-driven analytics will make creating and analysing reports like CFR even easier.
“We now have the ability to easily filter information within the reports as well as export all reports to all current file formats, with no reformatting required, saving valuable time.”
Danny Stenhouse, School Business Manager, Heygarth Primary
Bring your data to life
Track trends and see where your budget is going quickly and easily with data visualisation tools, charts, and graphs. With access to all your historical finance data in FMS and Finance Next Gen you’ll have a complete picture.
Finance for the non-finance specialist
Finance software that’s simple, intuitive, and made to make your life easier. You don’t need an accounting or finance background to use FMS or Finance Next Gen – and if your school doesn’t have a bank account that’s no problem either.
“Finance New Generation is very user friendly, with clear layouts and very simple ways to drill down into reports. I am excited to see this develop as I believe it will make tasks quicker and easier as more reports become accessible.”
Julie Hockney, Finance and Personnel Manager, Upshire Primary Foundation School
Bringing MIS and Finance together
FMS integrates with key SIMS functionality like SIMS Personnel, so you can reconcile payments to individual members of your team. From Summer 2025 you’ll have one single sign on for all your ParentPay Group products.
