Effective financial management is critical to school success. Financial management and finance in education are crucial. Since educational institutions are not profit-driven, the community and parents must ensure that each is used to improve the quality and quantity of instruction. Numerous researchers have explored the best financial management practices in education, but more research is needed. Comprehensive research is required to determine the best educational financial management approaches. Financial management practices like budgeting, resource allocation, cost control, and financial responsibility must be studied in educational settings. According to this study, different approaches in different educational environments affect student progress, school effectiveness, and economic viability. Further comparative research on financial management methods in educational institutions or across nations is needed. This study reviews the literature on efficient financial management practices in education. The systematic literature review (SLR) method and 7P flow diagram are used for analytical systematic reviews. This study addresses demographic questions in current scholarly works on optimal financial management approaches in education, including nation, research methodology, and participant count. Examining the latest academic works on education's strategic trajectory and financial management components will help determine the best financial management methods for education and future study. The systematic research shows excellent financial management strategies in education. Western and Southeast Asian demographic literature shows little research on the best financial management strategies for schooling. This comprehensive and systematic review of educational literature on optimal tactics and fiscal administration seeks to identify education's best practices. This research's structure and review of difficulties will improve school leaders' strategic financial management. It will underpin future research and policymaking. By filling this research gap, education policymakers, school administrators, and financial managers can get evidence-based advice on the best financial management strategies to improve resource allocation, educational quality, and long-term financial viability.
