Budgets — plan, activate, and compare against actuals month by month

Build a budget at any cadence — monthly, quarterly, or annual — activate it with one click, and watch variance against actuals in real time. Copy last year forward, or auto-distribute a total across periods.

A budget that helps, not hinders

Create & activate

Keep multiple saved budgets (conservative, base, aggressive); only one is active at a time.

Flexible cadence

Split amounts monthly, quarterly, or annually — each account on its own cadence.

Budget vs. actual

Live variance report — absolute and percentage — per account, with overruns highlighted.

Auto-distribute

Enter the annual figure; the system spreads it evenly — or by a seasonal pattern that mirrors your history.

Copy between periods

Copy last year as a starting point, then edit only what changed.

Overrun alerts

Instant notification when an account nears or exceeds its budget cap.

Building the budget

Start from a blank page, or from last year

Open a new budget; pick its period and currency. Select the accounts to include (revenue, operating expenses, payroll, etc.), then enter numbers manually — or have the system copy last year and apply a growth percentage line by line.

  • Copy from a prior budget with an adjustment percentage
  • Import prior actuals as a starting point
  • Save multiple scenarios (conservative, base, aggressive)

Budget vs. actual

Variance shows up before it becomes a problem

At any moment, pull the budget-vs-actual report: per account you see planned, actual, variance, and percentage. Accounts over budget are highlighted, so you know where to step in before month-end.

  • Available in financial statements as an extra dimension
  • Filter by branch, department, or cost center
  • Pairs with cost insights for full operational view

Distribution & copying

Spread an annual number across 12 months in seconds

Instead of typing 12 numbers, enter the annual total and choose even distribution — or pick a seasonal pattern drawn from last year (peak in Ramadan, slower summer). Then tweak any single month without disturbing the rest.

  • Even, seasonal, or custom distribution
  • Edit one month without changing the annual total
  • Copy a full branch budget to a new branch with one click
