A quick read before
the feature talk.
If ESA is new or fuzzy, here is what it actually is.
In more than 20 US states, parents can now receive several thousand dollars per child from the state, deposited into an Education Savings Account. They spend it on schooling. A microschool is a small independent school, often 10 to 30 students, run by one or two teachers. Microschools that register as approved ESA vendors get paid directly from those accounts.
The catch: every state pays on its own schedule, requires its own paperwork, and delays or blocks your money if you miss a deadline. That is the job CohortLedger is built for. We do not move the money. We invoice, track, and document, so the money you are owed arrives on time and on paper.

The three you ask
most often.
Plain answers to the three things every new operator asks before they trust a vendor.
See all questionsNo. We work alongside them. Your ESA funds disburse through your state's platform. CohortLedger generates the quarterly invoices, tracks received, pending, partial, and out-of-pocket, and keeps dated records. We make sure the money you are owed comes in on time and documented. We do not move the money ourselves.
No. We are not a payment processor and we take no cut. ESA funds flow through your state's platform. We invoice, track, and document so nothing slips and you can hand a state reviewer a clean record.
Yes. Incorporated in the US, terms and privacy policy published, DPA on request. Email through the Contact page and a person answers, usually the founder.
