Finance Manager
PTO Today’s Finance Manager is budgeting and accounting software that makes the PTO and PTA treasurer role a breeze! Designed specifically for volunteers, it’s easy to use—meaning no finance experience required. Some of our favorite features include bank reconciliation reports, easy budget creation and updates, and a variety of reports like category summaries, account summaries, and performance to budget. Finance Manager is available for $139 a year ($119 for Plus Members).
Insurance for PTO and PTA Groups and Booster Clubs
Do PTO and PTA groups need insurance? Yes! Insurance coverage is essential for every school PTO and PTA. Many leaders often assume their parent group is covered under the school's policy, but most are not (always check with your admin). PTO Today has been providing PTOs, PTAs, and booster clubs with specialized insurance packages for over 20 years. We offer four easy-to-choose insurance packages to fit the unique needs of school parent groups, big and small. In addition to superior coverage, every PTO Today insurance package includes membership to PTO Today Plus, our premium offering of resources for parent group leaders. PTO Today's insurance specialist, Nancy Santos, is happy to help you figure out which insurance package is best for your group’s needs. Reach out to Nancy at (800) 644-3561 ext. 203 or email
