Financial Clarity Without the Complexity
Capture Every Cost, All in One Place
From snacks to stationery, Mentor lets you log and categorise every spend in seconds. Attach receipts, add notes, and allocate costs to specific homes, young people, or staff. This not only improves financial control, it supports accurate budgeting and reporting.
Sync Finance with Daily Operations
Our finance tools are fully integrated with shift planning and task management. That means when rotas change or extra hours are worked, your cost records stay up to date automatically. It’s a smarter way to handle finances, one that reflects what’s happening on the ground.

Custom Cost Categories
Track spending in your own way with tailored tags for everything from utilities to enrichment activities.

Keep inspectors and funders satisfied with downloadable financial logs, timestamped entries, and a complete audit trail.
Advanced Finance Suite
A more powerful version of our finance tools is in development, featuring invoicing, forecasting, and deeper analytics, coming soon.
Still have questions? We have answers
Yes. Staff with permission can submit expenses or petty cash entries, which can then be reviewed and approved by managers.
Mentor links shift plans to time worked and pay rates for cost reporting, though payroll processing is completed externally.
Of course! You can set budget thresholds and receive alerts when spend approaches or exceeds your specified limits.
