Empowering Financial Transformation for Indonesia’s Largest Intercontinental School Network

Client Profile:

A multi-location Intercontinental school chain in Indonesia, operating under a fragmented, manual, and cash-based accounting environment.

Challenges:

No centralized or standardized accounting process
Fully manual bookkeeping across campuses
Reliance on cash-basis reporting, causing compliance blind spots
Zero automation across finance, tax, and payroll functions
High dependency on manual manpower without internal controls

Our Solution:

JCSS Indonesia stepped in as a co-sourcing partner, bringing together our expertise in education sector finance, compliance, and ERP process design. We implemented:

A robust end-to-end accounting and internal control framework, tailored for school operations
Automation of finance, tax compliance, and payroll workflows, reducing manual intervention
Cloud-based documentation and reconciliation system for transparency and accuracy
Training and handholding of in-house staff while gradually shifting to co-sourced execution

Results Delivered:

Achieved 30%–40% manpower cost savings through automation and streamlined workflows
Transitioned the group to fully digital, accrual-based accounting within 12 months
Zero non-compliance instances across payroll, PPh 21, BPJS and institutional tax filings
Freed up leadership time to focus on academic growth, not administrative firefighting
