ION is proud to announce a major milestone in our education journey. In January, we surpassed 100 Sage Intacct for Education customers, marking a significant moment in our continued growth within the education sector.
Today, Sage Intacct for Education is being used across more than 1,200 schools, with ION supporting the processing of £5.2 billion in education spend each year. Now supporting over 100 trusts, schools, and colleges across the UK, ION combines deep sector knowledge with best-in-class financial management software, to help education providers streamline processes, improve reporting, and make more informed, data-driven decisions. This huge scale growth reflects the trust placed in ION by MATs, schools, and colleges across the country to deliver secure, modern, and scalable financial management solutions.
ION began its focused journey in the education sector in 2022, with a clear ambition to challenge legacy finance systems that were no longer meeting the needs of education providers. Since then, our team has worked relentlessly to help organisations move away from outdated technology and towards cloud-based systems that enable better visibility, stronger controls, and more informed decision-making.
This milestone is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the ION team, the confidence of our growing customer community, and the strength of our partnership with Sage. Together, we remain committed to enabling education providers to achieve long-term financial sustainability through technology, innovation, and data-driven insights.
ION would like to thank all our customers, our dedicated team, and Sage for their continued support as we build momentum for the next phase of growth.
Commenting on the milestone, Rob Mathieson, CEO at ION, said: “Reaching over 100 education customers is a huge achievement for ION and something we’re incredibly proud of. It’s the result of years of relentless hard work and innovation, a fantastic team, and strong partnerships with our customers across the education sector. I’m confident this is just the beginning, and I look forward to welcoming the next 100.”
As demand continues to grow for modern, scalable finance systems in education, ION remains committed to supporting organisations at every stage of their finance transformation journey.
