In any school business, the financial transaction is vital because it is the fuel of the institution for giving quality
education and services to their stakeholders. Unfortunately, the school experienced delayed payments due to the discrepancies
of their financial data. In this study, the researchers introduced a we b-based application that would track students’ financial
transaction and received a scheduled SMS notification for the students and parents of the Jose Maria College. The researchers
used the Constructive Method and Iterative Process Model as a research and technical development methodologies. The
researchers also used fuel PHP framework for the web-based application and Cron job that serves as a time-based job
scheduler for sending scheduled SMS notification. For the testing the application, the White Box testing was used by the
researchers to review the smaller chunk of the application and decide if it is discarded or kept as a starting point. In user
acceptance testing, the black box testing was utilized to critique the functionalities of the application. Thirty-five(35) students,
seven(7) parents, three (3)Program Heads, two (2) Deans of Colleges, one (1) School Administrators’ Secretary, one (1)
Principal, one (1) Vice President for Academic Affairs, one (1) Cashier, and one (1) Accountant with a total of 52 respondents
