Meet Our Team

EdTec’ers hail from top colleges and universities around the country, as well as industries such as business consulting, education, law, and systems technology. What’s more, many of our team members come to EdTec after working with charters in other capacities, be it as an administrator, teacher, or advocate, so they understand the unique challenges of running a charter school.

Together, our various teams cover all areas of school management. Our client managers deliver CFO-level expertise and analysis to support school leaders with day-to-day financial and compliance requirements, while our transactional teams ensure smooth school operations by handling accounts payable, payroll, and accounting functions. Our charter school data experts provide support with data reporting, student performance analyses, assessment management, and special reports such as charter renewals, regional compliance reports and more.

We’re proud to say that our staff have a collective 380 years of charter school support experience. Our business model allows us to bring this specialized knowledge and experience to resource-constrained charter schools that cannot afford to hire full-time business professionals.

See below for a quick, fun snapshot of who we are and how we have fun. If you’re interested in joining our amazing team, learn more about what it’s like to work for EdTec and view our current job openings.
