Founded in 1877, Thayer Academy is an independent, coeducational day school serving over 700 students in Braintree, Massachusetts.
Since implementing Martus, Thayer Academy’s finance team has moved from a time-intensive monthly reporting process to a seamless workflow that frees them to focus on the financial decisions that matter.
When Jackie Fellini, Thayer Academy’s Director of Finance, set out to improve the school’s budgeting and forecasting process, the core problem was time. Every month, her team spent up to two full days compiling department budget reports — a manual effort that consumed staff hours without adding analytical value. The tools in place weren't meeting the demands of a complex, multi-department institution, and the reports they produced weren't always trustworthy. Jackie needed a solution that could deliver accurate, real-time financial data and put that information directly in the hands of department heads without creating extra work for her team.
Martus gave Jackie's team the tools to move from reactive reporting to on-demand financial visibility. The platform's reporting capabilities quickly became central to how the finance team operates.
The impact for Thayer Academy has been most visible in time savings and reporting confidence. Jackie's team no longer spends days each month on reporting. Martus handles it automatically, and the reports they're working from are ones they actually trust.
