South Carolina · Childcare & early learning

Bookkeeping built for childcare centers.

Bookkeeping, cash-flow planning, and reporting for South Carolina childcare centers and early learning programs. Free 30-minute discovery call, written scope before any work begins.

Who this is for

Childcare owners and directors who need the numbers to make decisions with.

AccountiTech is based in Greenville, South Carolina and is designed to support childcare centers, preschools, early learning programs, and after-school programs across the state. Service is delivered remotely, so location within South Carolina is never a constraint. Whether you run a single center or several rooms across two sites, the goal is the same: books that are current, reporting that is readable, and a clear view of cash.

What makes childcare finances different

Capacity is capped, costs are not

Licensing and ratios put a hard ceiling on revenue, while staffing, rent, food, and supplies keep moving. Without monthly numbers by room, it is hard to see which age group is carrying the center and which one is quietly draining it.

Tuition arrives in fragments

Weekly and biweekly payments, part-time schedules, sibling discounts, registration fees, and subsidy payments on their own timeline. Reconciling that against what was actually billed is where most childcare books fall behind.

Payroll is the biggest lever

Staff cost is usually the largest expense line, and scheduling decisions move it more than anything else. You need it measured as a share of revenue every month, including employer taxes and benefits — not just gross wages.

Cash timing decides real choices

Hiring a float teacher, adding a classroom, or replacing a van are cash decisions, not profit decisions. A simple runway figure and a forward cash-flow view turn those into informed calls instead of gut calls.

How we help

Three things, done consistently

Clean, current books

Monthly categorization and reconciliation of bank, card, and merchant activity, with tuition income and subsidy deposits recorded so they can be traced back to what was billed.

Reporting you can act on

A monthly package with profit and loss, balance sheet, cash position, and the childcare metrics that matter — capacity utilization, revenue per child, staff cost ratio, collection rate, and runway.

Budgets and cash-flow planning

A working budget and a forward cash-flow view you can test decisions against before you commit — a new classroom, a raise, or a slower summer.

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $350 per month. Cleanup and catch-up work starts at $750 after a review of your current records, because the scope depends entirely on what condition the books are in. Every engagement is quoted in writing first.

How engagements start

  1. 01

    Free discovery call

    A 30-minute conversation about your center, your current records, and what you actually need to see each month. No preparation required.

  2. 02

    Review and written scope

    We look at the current state of your books and send a written scope: what is included, what is excluded, the fee, and the timeline. Nothing starts before you approve it.

  3. 03

    Cleanup, then monthly rhythm

    If catch-up work is needed, that comes first as its own fixed scope. Then a steady monthly close and reporting package with a set delivery date.

What we do not do

Being clear about boundaries is part of doing the work well. AccountiTech does not prepare or file tax returns, does not provide CPA, audit, or assurance services, does not run payroll, and does not give legal or investment advice. When you need one of those, we will say so and work alongside the licensed professional you choose.

AccountiTech provides bookkeeping, management reporting, budgeting and cash-flow planning, dashboard development, and workflow consulting. We are not a CPA firm and do not provide legal, investment, tax, audit, or assurance advice. Pricing shown is a starting point; final scope and fees are confirmed in writing after a review.
