ASCL conference - thanks for dropping by

Many thanks to all the people who visited us at the ASCL conference last week. A combined payroll and HR service seemed to be the hot topic of conversation. We're busy following up with all those schools who asked to see us. And of course, even if you didn't ask for a formal appointment on the day, feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss any aspect of your school's management or administration.
