“Can a Singapore-based music school chain use automated payments infrastructure to scale a subscription model across dozens of centers without proportional back-office growth?”
Founded in 2013 as a music school in Singapore with an individualized teaching approach, Aureus Academy grew to 18,000+ students across 24 centers. The company's key operational pivot was transitioning from cash-based, per-lesson payments (common in Singapore education) to a fully automated credit-card-only subscription model, reducing finance admin time by 90% through Stripe's billing and payments infrastructure. This shift from transactional to recurring revenue underpins its scalable, multi-center growth model.
Aureus Academy processes payments through Stripe.
Aureus Academy was founded by Julius Holmefjord-Sarabi and Lawrence Holmefjord-Sarabi and is founded in 2013, headquartered in Singapore.
