Business Office Team Intensive

Business Office Team Intensive

Sunday, June 10, 2018 to Tuesday, June 12, 2018

Event Details

The Intensive builds upon the success of prior years deep dives into key areas of independent schools. This program is designed specifically for everyone in your school’s business office: Accounts Payable/Receivable, Student Billing, Benefits Administrators, Payroll Specialists, Controllers, and of course, Business Officers (and aspiring Business Officers).

The event will consist of general sessions as well as opportunities to collaborate and share with your peers who hold similar positions in their schools.

Attendees will leave with valuable takeaways to help them in the daily tasks that are critical to their schools’ smooth and successful operation. More importantly, each person will leave with a new group of colleagues they can call upon when they need guidance. Schools will get the most from this event with their entire business office team in attendance, whether it is a team of one or ten.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Business Officers (and Aspiring Business Officers)
  • Controllers 
  • Accounts Payable/Receivable 
  • Student Billing
  • Benefits Administrators and Payroll Specialists
