September 2020 Financials and HoS Credit Card

Actual operating surplus for the three months ended 9/30/20 is $51,941 vs. budgeted deficit of ($306,989). Revenues are running lower primarily due to MFP revenue and before/after care fees. Continuing with surplus since expenses are running lower than expected as well. 
Salary, payroll taxes & benefits all under budget – mostly due to timing of hires & benefit plan participation
o Professional fees over YTD budget mainly due to upfront spending related to professional development, new payroll software, COVID support
