Your work is hard. I know because I have been there. As a former charter school back office operator who founded a charter school, I know what challenges are faced on a daily basis. My vision is to make your job as easy as possible and to truly allow you to focus on the most important parts of your school: your students and your employees.
I also know that educators don’t get specific training in accounting, budgeting, cash flow management, and financial sustainability. The latter is where my advanced formal training comes in and surprising to many, where my passion lies.
I also love to solve problems, so those crazy new processes being sent by regulatory agencies that have confusing language. I will help you figure them out.
I believe in charter schools and want you to succeed. I would love to support you!
Sincerely,
Carrie Wagner
CEO and Founder
