“Happy budgeting Season”
Probably never heard anyone wish you a Happy budgeting season, but for many Australian Not For Profits the holiday season and budgeting season coincide. So, whilst we are all planning and thinking about our imminent holiday (albeit short), NFPs everywhere are managing teams of people and harassing them about budgeting and forecasting submissions.
Why not consider improving your annual budgeting season by embracing best of breed budgeting and forecasting software? Here are just a few reasons that can lessen the burden of budgeting season:
- Integration – initial actual data is sourced from your existing ERP, data can be updated as necessary during the budgeting process
- Communication – simple, Inbuilt communication process the whole team can use
- Accessibility – granting access to all appropriate users, however best for them to work such as via Cloud solutions

- Improved Processes – Mandatory notations and ‘justifications’ on budgets
