First morning of resumption and the accounts desk is already noisy — cash, WhatsApp receipts, parents calling.

Receipts: count naira against physical receipts, match with the till and bank lodgements. Note any missing receipts immediately.

Student balances: reconcile transfers and WhatsApp payment screenshots with the ledger. Flag partial payments and students still owing before the day ends.

Sign-off: bursar and principal sign one consolidated summary. Photograph the signed page, post to the finance WhatsApp group and upload to cloud storage.

Last term I watched a school recover N1.2m from fees they'd been missing.

They weren't owed more, they were losing track: fee lines split across WhatsApp, paper receipts and a billing tool that didn't match class lists.

We fixed three simple processes and replaced one tool with a clearer billing flow.

The money reconciled, parents stopped getting chased every week, and term opening went smoother.

You only notice missing fees on resumption morning.

This carousel shows three quick reconciliation steps to run before resumption. Slide 1 — Bank vs ledger: check totals in naira, match bank reference numbers to your cashbook, and flag lodgements not yet posted. Slide 2 — Match receipts fast: verify receipt number, payer name, amount and date; keep WhatsApp payment screenshots with the receipts so you can cross-check quickly. Slide 3 — Who owns it: bursar runs the day-to-day reconciliation, operations or principal signs off before resumption. Save the checklist on Google Drive and pin it in the school's WhatsApp group.

A bursar found a shortfall 48 hours before resumption. We ran three checks and one reconciliation approach that found the leak. On the carousel: what to check first; a quick ledger-to-bank match you can run without scraping WhatsApp receipts; and how EduOS takes the repeat work off your desk — pulls payment feeds, matches receipts to invoices, and flags exceptions so you only act on problem items.

On Monday I watched our bursar spend two hours chasing fees on WhatsApp.

On resumption week you see the small admin errors that steal staff time and naira.

If your bursar is still chasing payments across WhatsApp threads, or teachers sign paper registers that never get entered, it shows up fast: delayed fees, extra overtime and confused parents.

Resumption in a week? Do this 60-minute cash check.

Match last week's bank lodgements to your receipts book and confirm totals in naira. Any payment that appears in the bank but not on your receipts list is a red flag — call or WhatsApp the payer, the cashier or the bank immediately.

Stop approving fee discounts until you have written confirmation from the parent and your bursary.

Do these three checks before pupils return and you'll know the real cash position on day one.

Share this with your bursar — which step will you run first?
