East Sussex Local Authority chooses Arbor Finance for its 111 schools

We are excited to announce that Arbor Finance, formerly RM Finance, has recently been chosen by East Sussex Local Authority as the new accounting system for its 111 schools. 

Arbor Finance was recently brought into the Arbor Education family, home to the UK’s most-loved school software. 

This fantastic opportunity in East Sussex represents the first success of our team working together in the group. We’re looking forward to working with East Sussex Local Authority and rolling this out across their schools, who join the other 1,250 schools across the UK already using Arbor Finance.
