Access and analysis of K-12 financial data helps lead to better decisions for students. When school districts connect budgets to student achievement using cutting-edge financial technology, they make decisions that improve resource equity and realize strategic priorities for students. The United States spends over $US650 billion on education each year, and Allovue is working closely with districts and state departments of education across the country to budget and spend those dollars better.
Allovue, a participating company in the Macquarie Capital Venture Studio, provides innovative education finance technology solutions to educators nationwide to help them budget, manage and evaluate school spending. The Company also provides districts with supplemental services including funding equity analysis, diagnostic surveys and financial management training. Allovue’s flagship product, Balance, is an online software platform designed to help K-12 administrators access, understand and control their financial data.
