About This Automation

Fee and subsidy billing at childcare centres involves collecting attendance records, verifying subsidy eligibility, calculating fees, generating invoices, and reconciling payments across multiple systems.

Automation collects attendance data automatically, verifies subsidy eligibility against program rules, calculates fees with validated formulas, generates and tracks invoices, and reconciles payments in real time.

Calculate family fees with validated formulas based on attendance and subsidy entitlements
Generate and send invoices automatically with centralised tracking and delivery confirmation

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Monthly Billing Cycle Triggeredtrigger

On the first business day of each month, or when a family enrols or changes subsidy status, the automation pulls attendance and enrolment data from the source system.

2. Extract Attendance & Enrolment Data

The automation retrieves attendance records and family enrolment details from the childcare management system, consolidating them into a single dataset.

3. Verify Subsidy Eligibility

The automation reviews each family's subsidy status against current rules and flags any changes in eligibility or required documentation.

4. Calculate Fees & Subsidy Amounts

The automation calculates tuition owed, subsidy entitlements, and any adjustments based on attendance and family circumstances, storing results.

5. Generate & Send Invoices

Invoices are automatically created and sent to families via email, with a copy logged for tracking and follow-up.

6. Record Invoices in QuickBooks

Invoice data is automatically pushed, creating accounts receivable entries and eliminating manual data entry.

7. Match Payments to Invoices

The automation monitors bank deposits and matches them to invoices in QuickBooks, flagging discrepancies and overdue balances.

8. Notify Finance Team of Exceptions

A summary report is sent to the finance team, highlighting unpaid invoices, subsidy eligibility changes, and any reconciliation mismatches requiring manual review.
