"FPSadvance.Net will assist us by allowing the team to see the whole planning and budgeting picture and provide each individual with a schedule of personal aims and objectives. It will allow us to demonstrate at Ofsted inspections and in completion of the SEF that our development planning and budget preperation are meaningfully linked. We will have information to support the performance management system and governors will have a document which supports them in their roles of strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation and accountability."

Jeanette Smith, Business Manager, Noel-Baker Community School & Language College

"We have seen the new software FPSadvance.Net and believe it provides an excellent tool for schools to link the School Development Plan to a longer term financial planning module. Costs identified in the School Development Plan are automatically transferred to the financial planning module. The facility to do scenerio planning is excellent and gives our school the opportunity to investigate numerous strategic options."

Rhoda Poyser, Head Teacher, Pheasey Park Farm Primary School

""Howard Jackson, of HCSS has developed financial products for schools for many years and I have always sought to use them to enable me to get both efficiency and effectiveness within my strategic financial environment. HCSS has recently surpassed all expectations in the development of its FPSadvance.Net Strategic Development Plan. In my opinion it is the best product out there!"
