How fees, payments and receipts work

Brim runs your fees in UGX, the way a Ugandan school actually bills.

Fee structures

Set a fee structure per class per term — tuition, plus any extras (lunch, transport, boarding). A student's bill is built from the structures that apply to them, so you set it up once rather than per child.

Recording payments

When a parent pays — at the bank, by mobile transfer, or at the office — the bursar records it against the student. Brim updates the balance immediately and the parent sees it in their app. Part-payments and payment plans are supported, because that is how school fees are really paid.

Receipts on your letterhead

Every receipt and statement carries your school's logo and name, not Brim's — with a small "Powered by Brim" line. A receipt looks like it came from your bursar's office because, in every way that matters, it did.

Finance is double-entry underneath, so the books always balance. Sensitive actions can require a second approver (maker–checker), which protects both the school and the bursar.
