Finances & Travel

Manage accounts, fees, fundraising, online payments, categories, trips, and all related financial documents in one place.

Overview

The Finances & Travel page is the central hub for everything money-related in your program. It uses the same large-button design as Personnel and Inventory for quick, consistent navigation.

The Main Sections

Accounts

View and manage program accounts, transactions, transfers, cleared status, and student-linked payments.

→ Go to Accounts

Fees & Credits

Create fixed or variable fees and credits, apply them to students or ensembles, and track balances.

→ Go to Fees & Credits

Fundraising

Create campaigns, track goals and progress, attribute deposits to students, apply fee credits, and share public pay links with QR codes.

→ Go to Fundraising

Online Payments

Connect Stripe, set the deposit account, and enable card payments for student fees and fundraiser links.

→ Go to Online Payments

Categories

Organize income and expenses with standard or custom categories, view analysis charts, and print reports.

→ Go to Categories

Trip Itineraries

Create and manage detailed trip plans, including schedules, lodging, and transportation.

→ Go to Trip Itineraries

Travel Documents

Store permission slips, medical forms, travel contracts, and other trip-related paperwork.

→ Go to Travel Documents

Financial Documents

Organize budgets, invoices, receipts, and other important financial records.

→ Go to Financial Documents

Consistent Design

Like the rest of FireSafe, this section uses large, icon-driven buttons for fast access. The top navigation bar (school/program name) works the same way across all pages.

Tip:

Many directors find it helpful to keep the Accounts, Fees & Credits, and Categories pages updated regularly so balances and reports stay accurate. Set up Online Payments early if you want parents to pay by card.
