The story

Clarity Financial launched in 2021-2022 to rebuild the K-12 private school financial aid experience — pioneering direct IRS tax verification to eliminate the manual document uploads that legacy incumbents (like FACTS / SSS) required. From that beachhead it expanded into adjacent business-office workflows: enrollment contracts, tuition management, and incidental billing. In 2026 it is launching an Admissions Platform to become the end-to-end operating system for private school enrollment, moving from a point solution into a full vertical SaaS suite.
