We just started using it, for monthly re-forecasting and will use for our annual budget. Much easier to get input from department heads without sharing my bulky multi-co multi department spreadsheet. Users range from those only responsible for one expense, to managers responsible for multiple departments. With the GL import feature it allows users to see prior actual data without accessing our accounting program. Allows us to forecast how the year will end up compared to budget.
  • Import Data
  • Formulas and Excel Linking
  • Reporting
  • Onboarding
  • Have approvals if using Balance Sheet module
  • Be able to restrict payroll module access by department
  • Visualizations by department without having to drill down
Love Budgyt’s business model which enabled use to try it out with our data and most of the setup without paying up front. Budgyt is so much better than my bulky multi company, multi department Excel spreadsheet. Great that we can upload detailed actual GL data for users to see. Awesome that we easily see prior year monthly actuals, and budget on the data sheet for a gut check. The formulas and excel linking files work like a charm. Implementation was very smooth and haven't needed to contact customer support yet. You can tell this product was designed by a CFO, and is easy enough to use by a non-financial manager.

We use Quickbooks for our accounting software, where we pay per user. Budgets were cumbersome because they were built within multiple spreadsheets, all of which fed into a master sheet. Formulas would get deleted, and trying to share the information with our finance committee and board was tedious. Budgyt allows access to anyone we give access to create budgets within their department, view monthly financial info, and forecast upcoming months. No more formatting monthly reports for each department!
  • Allows for multiple users to access budgets, financials and forecasting
  • Calculates payroll automatically for forecasting and salary increases
  • Allows users to leave notes on variances or other pertinent information for others to view
  • Easily compare data from prior years with current year.
  • Budgyt allows for formulas to be set up to calculate different data, but understanding how to set up a formula has been difficult
  • Tracking item codes from Quickbooks is tedious, so we stopped reporting by item codes in Budgyt due to the extra work
  • I would like to see more ad hoc reporting
Budgyt is well suited for any organization that has a need for multiple users to access financials, budgets, and forecasting.

The organisation had a very finance-led budgeting process last year, and we wanted to find a simple way to establish a process by which budget-holders were more engaged and owning of their budgets, in the most efficient way. Budgyt looked like, and turned out to be a great fit. The access control enables us to provide visibility to a budget-holder of just what they need to see, and so keeps their experience uncomplicated.
  • Access control
  • Hierarchy
  • Customer service
  • Better cashflow reporting
Where you are looking to compile a complex budget across multiple departments with multiple budget-holders, and yet each department's own inputs are relatively simple, the hierarchical capabilities within Budgyt work very well.

Budgyt helps us create and manage budgets for many departments and/or projects. Budgyt is useful for importing organizational data like trial balances, monthly profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and other financial information. Budgyt allows you to design the pieces of the organization's budget structure, as well as link them hierarchically. The budget is customizable to contain budget formulas, estimate direct and indirect expenses, and operate and non-operating income.
  • Budgyt collaborates in the convergence of multiple budgets in the departments of the organization.
  • Budgyt is adaptable in terms of administrative access for budget changes.
  • Budgyt has some reporting difficulties, and budget data is often tabular in nature, making it difficult to read on small-screen phones.
Budgyt predicts future events based on past transactions and historical financial or operational data. Budgyt allows you to build predictions and include new information that can change budgets. Budgyt supports forecast types, including balance sheet and cash flow forecasts. Budgyt is an excellent tool for evaluating and revising budget assumptions over time.

We use Budgyt to maintain our Actuals vs. budget/forecast variance analysis. We also allow transparency for budget owners to see their P&Ls and the details behind it. We use the exports and imports to derive further reporting when needed. The product is very easy to use and almost every product enhancement has been exactly what we needed to make the experience even better.
  • variance analysis
  • headcount budget/planning (HR formulas)
  • easily exportable for further reporting
  • We would have loved to see a Balance Sheet/Cash flow function within the platform, but almost like Budgyt knew, it's already in beta stage of being released!
As a very affordable, easy to use platform, we use Budgyt primarily to compare our actuals from our accounting software to the budget we put together and used Budgyt to help build. The HR formulas allow for us to add bulk headcount with different bonuses, tax implications ect. These tasks used to take hours longer. In every part of the budget planning process for 2022 (a year after we've had the software), we were able to utilize the software and reports it produced. Our planning time was almost cut in half and we were able to spend more time scrubbing expenses, building out scenarios for leadership. We don't need the bells and whistles that a more robust system might provide (at a much higher cost). For a company that is active in the M&A space, we are constantly adding complexities to our P&L and Budgyt handles it all.

I use Budgyt software to create annual budgets for two companies. One company is in the service industry so our labor costs are a large part of the budget. Budgyt software does such a great job at calculating payroll and benefit costs.
  • Payroll Taxes.
  • Benefit Costs-Tied to each employee.
  • Commission Cost-Tied to increase in sales.
  • Revenue Projections are based on a supporting Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that can be updated at any time.
  • Balance Sheet. I know this will be rolled out soon. Not sure I will use it but it would be nice.
The software is very detail-oriented so setting up new employees each year and updating benefit plans can be a little time-consuming. The time spent is well worth it once the budget is done and you start comparing projections to actuals. Last year with Covid, I was setting up new scenarios every few months. The software is very agile and I love that you can run a scenario easily within it.

Our management team of at least a dozen people use it for annual fiscsal budgeting and monthly operational variance analysis against budget. We upload each of our five company QuickBooks files into Budgyt each month, and can easily view consolidated or department and/or company views. Budget is easy to train newbies on, and managers become "owners" of their financials, supported by this product.
  • Ease of use
  • Training typically takes 45 minutes with newbies
  • monthly variance analysis rocks with Budgyt!
  • Manual upload of QuickBooks is a bit kludgy
  • We would like to see consolidated Balance sheets...I believe they are working on this.
  • We would like to see budgeted and operational statements of cashflows, and I believe they are working on this too.
It is very well suited for the intended purposes of annual fiscal budgeting and monthly operational variance analysis. It is also an easy platform to train personnel who are new to budgeting, but due to their management position, now "own" their monthly financials.
