Enrolment to invoice, term to GL. Built for Malaysian tuition centres and training schools.

Tuition centres and training schools juggle enrolments, class timetables, tutor payouts, and prepaid fees — often across several branches. IntBooks has an education module for students, classes, attendance, billing, and tutor payouts, on an accounting core that handles payroll (EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB) for employed tutors and recognises prepaid fees as revenue over time.

Why generic accounting software fails education businesses

The education accounting problems we hear every week

  • Student billing is a spreadsheet nightmare

    Different fees per programme, per term, per discount tier — kept in Excel and emailed to parents. Errors and missed invoices cost real revenue.

  • Tutor payouts can't tie to actual classes taught

    Tutors paid per session or on commission need a clean record of taught vs scheduled. Spreadsheets get this wrong; tutors raise disputes.

  • Term-based revenue isn't recognised correctly

    Fees prepaid for a 12-week term should be recognised as revenue over the term, not on the invoice date. Without deferred revenue, your P&L misleads you.

  • Multi-branch consolidation eats principals' time

    Each branch sends a spreadsheet. The principal rebuilds the group P&L every month — and the auditor rebuilds it again at year-end.

Built for education

Purpose-built modules — not generic accounting

  • Student enrolment & class management

    Manage students, guardians and households, classes, and enrolments. Link every fee to an enrolment record.

  • Flexible billing & sibling discounts

    Bill by package, monthly, termly, or per drop-in session. Sibling discounts apply at household level, and prepaid fees are recognised as revenue over time.

  • Tutor payouts tied to sessions taught

    Pay tutors a fixed rate per session, a revenue share, or a salary plus commission. Payouts are calculated from the sessions they taught, then approved and paid.

  • Class schedule & attendance

    Schedule sessions, mark attendance (present, absent, late, excused), assign substitute tutors, and arrange make-up classes.

  • Branches & group consolidation

    Set up each branch in the education module. If your branches are separate companies, combine them in a consolidation group with intercompany balances eliminated.

  • Parent portal

    Parents can see their children's upcoming sessions and view their invoices in the parent portal.

How it works

From setup to month-end close

  1. 1

    Set up programmes & fee structures

    Configure subjects, levels, classes, fee packages, and discount rules. Add your tutors and their pay rules.

  2. 2

    Enrol students, bill in bulk

    Enrol students into classes and generate invoices for the billing period in one run. Parents can view their invoices in the parent portal.

  3. 3

    Track attendance, pay tutors

    Tutors mark attendance per session. Payouts are calculated from sessions taught; employed tutors are paid through payroll with EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB, and freelancers are paid as supplier bills.

  4. 4

    Close the month with confidence

    Deferred revenue recognition, tutor payouts, and your P&L close together at month-end.

Education FAQ

How does IntBooks handle prepaid term fees and deferred revenue?
Prepaid monthly and termly fees are credited to a deferred tuition revenue account and recognised as revenue at each month-end; termly fees are spread evenly over the months of the term. Session packages are recognised as each session is attended.
Can tutors be paid per class, per hour, or per student?
Per class, yes. Each tutor can be paid a fixed rate per session taught, a share of the fees from their classes, or a salary plus commission. Hourly and per-student rates are not built in. Payouts are calculated from completed sessions, approved, and then paid through payroll (for employees) or as a supplier bill (for freelancers).
Do parents get an e-invoice for monthly tuition fees?
Not automatically. From 1 September 2026, businesses with annual revenue below RM3 million are not required to implement e-invoicing (LHDN statement, 30 August 2026), which covers many tuition centres. If you are in scope, LHDN lets you combine sales to individuals into a monthly consolidated e-invoice; IntBooks' consolidated e-invoicing currently works from POS sales, not tuition invoices, so talk to us before you go live. Parents can view their invoices in the parent portal.
Can IntBooks handle HRD Corp claimable training programmes?
There is no dedicated HRD Corp feature. You can invoice a corporate sponsor as a normal customer and put the grant or claim reference on the invoice; the claim itself is made with HRD Corp directly.
