Education Finance, Powered by Sage Intacct

HogeFinance delivers a comprehensive financial management platform designed specifically for schools and educational organisations.

Built around the power and reliability of Sage Intacct, our solution goes beyond traditional finance software by providing the school-specific functionality that educational institutions need but standard ERP systems cannot deliver alone.

We have developed a fully integrated ecosystem that combines Sage Intacct's best-in-class financial management capabilities with specialist tools designed for the unique operational and reporting requirements of schools. The result is a single, connected platform that supports finance teams, school leaders, and governors with accurate data, streamlined processes, and meaningful insights.

From budgeting and forecasting to pupil-led income management, departmental reporting, compliance, and education-specific workflows, HogeFinance bridges the gap between enterprise finance software and the practical realities of running a modern school.

By integrating seamlessly with Sage Intacct, our platform enables schools to benefit from a robust cloud financial system while gaining access to the specialist functionality required to manage educational finances efficiently and effectively.

The strength of Sage Intacct. The functionality schools need. Delivered through one integrated platform.

The Power of Sage Intacct

Academy Trusts face increasing pressure to deliver financial transparency, maintain compliance, manage complex funding streams, and provide timely, accurate reporting across multiple schools. Sage Intacct provides the robust cloud financial management platform needed to meet these challenges while supporting future growth.

Designed for modern organisations, Sage Intacct delivers powerful core financial capabilities including multi-entity accounting, budgeting, forecasting, purchasing, cash management, and real-time reporting. For Academy Trusts, this means greater visibility and control across all schools within the trust, enabling finance leaders to make informed decisions based on accurate, up-to-date information.

Unlike traditional on-premise finance systems, Sage Intacct provides a secure, scalable cloud platform that automates routine processes, reduces manual administration, and improves financial governance. Its flexible architecture allows trusts to consolidate financial information across multiple academies while maintaining appropriate levels of local control and accountability.

HogeFinance combines the power of Sage Intacct with our own specialist education platform, HogePortal, providing the school-specific functionality that Academy Trusts require. Together, this creates a fully integrated solution that bridges the gap between enterprise financial management and the unique operational needs of the education sector.

The result is a modern finance ecosystem that enables Academy Trusts to streamline operations, strengthen compliance, improve reporting, and focus more resources on delivering outstanding educational outcomes.

Sage Intacct provides the financial foundation. HogeFinance delivers the education-specific capabilities. Together, they create a complete finance solution for Academy Trusts.

Intacct Enhanced for Education

HogePortal is the central platform that brings together the people, processes and systems that power a modern Academy Trust.

Designed specifically for the education sector, HogePortal provides a secure, intuitive environment where staff, school leaders and trust teams can access the information and services they need through a single, connected platform. By integrating seamlessly with Sage Intacct and other key systems, HogePortal removes complexity, eliminates duplication, and creates a more efficient way of working across the trust.

Academy Trusts often rely on multiple systems to manage finance, operations, communications and stakeholder engagement. This can create disconnected processes, inconsistent data and unnecessary administration. HogePortal addresses these challenges by acting as the central hub that connects systems, users and workflows into one cohesive experience.

Built around the needs of educational organisations, the platform provides role-based access to information and services, ensuring users see only what is relevant to them. Whether they are school administrators, budget holders, finance staff, trust leaders or parents, users can access the tools and information they need through a simple and consistent interface.

HogePortal is designed to support both trust-wide governance and school-level autonomy. Standardised workflows and controls help ensure consistency across the organisation, while flexible configuration allows individual schools to operate in a way that reflects their own requirements.

The platform also delivers powerful integration capabilities, enabling data to flow automatically between systems and reducing the need for manual intervention. This improves accuracy, enhances visibility and ensures that decision-makers have access to timely and reliable information.

As Academy Trusts continue to grow and evolve, HogePortal provides a scalable foundation that adapts alongside them. New modules, services and integrations can be added as requirements change, allowing trusts to build a connected digital ecosystem that supports long-term growth and operational excellence.

At its heart, HogePortal is about simplifying complexity. By bringing together people, processes and technology into a single platform, it enables Academy Trusts to work more efficiently, improve collaboration, strengthen governance and focus on what matters most; delivering outstanding educational outcomes for every pupil.

**One platform. One experience. Built for Academy Trusts.**

"Hoge100's pricing is very reasonable and is certainly value for money.

I like that there is a flexible and tailored approach to their pricing - based on the type of organisation and your system requirements. It isn't just a 'one size fits all' approach.

They have always been very reasonable and fair with their pricing. Particularly when new schools join the trust and we need to expand our system CoA to accommodate these new schools. I have known other system providers to charge extortionate fees to do this!"

For Academy Trusts

DfE Chart of Accounts

Hoge 100 worked with the, then, ESFA when its project started and along with a group of our clients built intuitive tools to provide an easier transition and faster submissions. We were the first by nearly two years to have trusts auto-submitting.


Budget Forecasting and Planning

Budget forecasting designed for MATs with all the power of the best budget forecasting systems but without the complexity and at an affordable price.

HogeBudgets has been designed specifically for academy trusts. It provides detailed budgeting and forecasting, staffing calculations, including mid-year staff salary calculations, payroll reconciliations and trust-wide consolidation.

And, because HogeBudgets is fully integrated within HogePortal, there is no need for separate imports, exports or third-party integrations.


Integration with Suppliers

HogePortal uses PunchOut technology to automate procurement from the the main eductational suppliers. Users build baskets directly within suppliers' ecommerce websites and the system automatically converts them into purchase requests in HogePortal saving vast amounts of time and effort making lists of required purchases and then typing them into the purchasing system.


Realtime Reporting for All

Alongside the comprehensive reporting available within Intacct, HogePortal provides interactive and customisable online reporting for budget holders, senior leadership team, and even trsustees. All available live within the system, providing fast access to meaningful financial information.
