Primary school fee management software

FAMS – Primary school fee management software

FAMS is finance software built for primary schools, replacing tuition ledgers and scattered spreadsheets. Tuition is set per grade or per class, for every month of the school year; when a parent comes to pay, the cashier finds the student, records the payment and prints a receipt on the spot. The board sees payment status by month, by school year or for any date range, alongside the school’s cash book and payroll.

  • Tuition per grade or class and per month, with boarding fees kept separate
  • Print a receipt per student or in batches
  • Payment status by month, school year or date range
  • Other fees – parent fund, insurance, textbooks… – by school year and term
  • Monthly payroll: seniority, position and qualification allowances, extra periods
  • Excel import for students and staff; Excel reports

The problem

What does FAMS solve?

Before: Tuition recorded in notebooks or spreadsheets; hard to tell who owes which month

With FAMS: Every student has a month-by-month payment history; filter unpaid students instantly

Before: Hand-written receipts are slow and error-prone when parents queue up

With FAMS: Receipts printed from the system with the right amounts, one by one or in batches

Before: Each grade pays a different rate, plus many other fees during the year

With FAMS: Tuition defined per grade; other fees added by the school and collected separately

Before: The cash book and staff pay live in separate ledgers, hard to reconcile at month-end

With FAMS: Vouchers, payroll and reports in the same system, exported to Excel

Contact us
Each grade pays a different rate. Does FAMS handle that?

Yes. Tuition is set per grade or per class for every month of the school year, with boarding fees kept separate; fees beyond tuition are defined by the school and collected separately.

Can we print receipts for parents?

Yes. The cashier prints a receipt right after collecting, or batch-prints receipts for many students at once.

We keep students in spreadsheets today. Can we switch?

Yes. FAMS imports students and staff from an Excel template with a preview step, and the Vietcaso team helps migrate your data during onboarding.

Who can see and change financial data?

Permissions are split by task – collecting fees, fee setup, payroll, cash book, reports… Each account only does what it is assigned, and administrators can back up the data from within the app.
