DMS provides a wide range of "back-office" administrative services to California charter schools, including budgeting, accounting, payroll, purchasing, compliance, and many other functions. Due to our economies of scale and  established systems, we can provide such services at a substantially  lower cost than hiring and training on-site personnel. Our staff also  stays fully up-to-date on the latest legislative and regulatory changes,  passing this knowledge onto our clients.

At DMS, we strive for the happy medium - handling the administrative duties for your school without taking control, keeping you and your Board fully informed, and letting you get back to the real business of your school - educating California's children.  

By providing efficient back-office services at a reasonable cost, we ensure a stable operating environment for your school, minimizing costs, generating additional revenue (grants, categoricals, etc.), and ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal oversight and reporting requirements. However, we leave strategic management, curriculum, and overall control of the school’s direction at the local staff and board level, where it should be. We manage your business activities, not your school.  

As shown herein, the four key areas of services that we provide offer comprehensive back-office support, from budgeting to HR to purchasing to fiscal services, allowing you to focus on the business of education rather than on day-to-day details. However, we also ensure that you and your Board are kept fully informed about all aspects of your school’s business.
