Budgets to audits, fees to payroll, compliance to cashflow — the school's finances held to standard.
Institutional finance isn't bookkeeping — it's stewardship. Every rupee in a school's account is a parent's trust and a child's opportunity, and it deserves to be handled with both precision and conscience. My job is to make sure the money is where it should be, spent on what it should be, and provable to anyone who asks — the board, the auditor, or a parent. Clean books aren't a year-end scramble; they're a daily discipline. Do that, and the audit is a formality.
