About Prestige School Solutions
Real Relationships in Real Time
Prestige School Solutions focuses on real relationships in real time. We partner with charter school leadership to support and strengthen school operations — from day-to-day accounting processes to complex reporting needs — delivering clarity and structure to help leaders make informed decisions.
We provide comprehensive accounting process support and back-office services tailored specifically to charter schools, including general ledger review, payroll support, financial reporting, and assistance with documentation related to applicable reporting requirements.
Named the 2024 School Management Company of the Year by Education Insights Magazine, Prestige is recognized for our collaborative relationships with clients, combined with structured reporting and operational consistency in charter school fiscal operations.
"We have been extremely impressed with the exceptional level of customer service provided by Prestige. Our consultant is highly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and consistently responsive."
-Beth Fondo, Franklin Academy
Our Story
In 2000, our founder, David M. Rutter Faunce, began helping shape the charter school landscape with the launch of Acadia Charter Systems. The company expanded through acquisition to become Acadia NorthStar in 2001. He later founded Prestige School Solutions in 2013, and in 2023, all entities were unified under the Prestige brand. Today, our experienced team proudly supports more than 150 schools across the southeastern United States.
We help charter and private schools strengthen their operations by supporting the use of cloud-based accounting systems, structured reporting processes, and client-centered accounting support that make school operations more organized and efficient.
From accounting and payroll support to audit documentation assistance and reporting aligned with applicable state and federal requirements, our team tailors each engagement to the operational needs of every school.
Whether opening a new charter, planning for growth, or navigating leadership transitions, Prestige provides structured support designed to help schools operate with clarity and consistency.
"Working with Prestige School Solutions has been a seamless and supportive experience. Their team provides reliable back-office support that allows us to stay focused on what matters most—serving our students, staff, and school community."
-Tomikia Whitmire, Spartanburg Preparatory School
Our Purpose
At Prestige, we believe school leaders should spend their time teaching, leading, and growing their schools — not consumed by back-office day-to-day operations.
Our mission is to simplify school accounting processes and reporting so schools can focus on what matters most: serving students.
Through timely reporting, proactive communication, and a genuinely caring team, Prestige provides structured accounting support that helps schools operate with clarity and confidence.
