What is Budgyt?

Budgets Made Easier

We use Budgyt to complete our annual operating budget. It's user-friendly, and I like the ability to share the budget with other managers.
  • Incorporates formulas for wages/cost of sales
  • Easy to compare periods, forecasts w/ actual, budget w/ actual, etc
  • Can easily send budgets to department managers
  • The video library is great
  • Downloading detailed reports takes a long time
Great for completing operating budgets: easy to use, incorporates formulas.

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.

Our organization uses the Budgyt Software in order to create a yearly budget that has 50 plus accounts to monitor throughout the year. The product has assisted me with being able to create a budget with ease as our company was using an outdated excel spreadsheet that was not user friendly.
  • The software provides ease in making edits and changes while working with many scenarios that can be created within the platform.
  • The visualizations are extremely helpful for presentations.
  • Provides recorded training sessions to review at any time when learning the software
  • Creating a symbol to click on to import from the software to the Desktop version of QuickBooks
Budgyt has been a lifesaver for our organization! The software is very user friendly when it comes to creating several scenarios for budgets and forecasts. It has eliminated the struggles of maintaining an excel spreadsheet that was not user friendly. The software is well suited for anyone that is looking for a user-friendly platform that is easy to learn, provides standard and customization options for providing visualizations to use for presentations. I have also enjoyed the training that Budgyt provides in a recording format and stores in your "library" to review at your leisure.

Budgyt was adopted as our primary platform of choice for financial reporting and analysis. It was selected initially in order to implement a more sophisticated budget tool than Excel, and quickly became the obvious go-to solution for forecasting, analysis, and routine reporting. Problems addressed include: Limited/non-user-friendly access to financal data & clear, legible reports are now easily distributed/accessible to our non-finance team members, saving time for both finance & non-finance staff, and eliminating questions arising from lack of clarity/version control in distribution of financial info. The easy-to-use & understand format of Budgyt helps keep things consistent. And most notably, the processes of budgetting and forecasting have been completely revamped to work with the Budgyt platform (from old manual, Excel-based processes).
  • Budgeting
  • Forecasting
  • Reporting
  • Detailed analysis: Data drill-down
  • Integration with other ERPs (specifically, Sage Intacct)
  • Advanced features such as formulas and employee module could be easier to use
I'm sure that Budgyt would not be the most appropriate solution for large, complex organizations with numerous entities or overly complicated structures. Those org's likely have solutions within their ERPs or other sophisticated finance systems with budgeting/reporting capabilities that mirror Budgyt, making it redundant. However, for an easy, and relatively cheap solution to meeting those needs, as well as forecasting and analysis, I would recommend Budgyt to anyone with the need.

We use Budgyt for our monthly reporting, forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis. Our general ledger is QuickBooks Online, which doesn't provide out of the box functionality for forecasting and variance reporting.

After considering other applications, it was a no-brainer to select Budgyt
  • Excellent consolidated reporting
  • Importing and Exporting data is extremely easy
  • Customer support is excellent
  • The ability to create Scenarios on the fly is very useful if you need to compare versions of budgets, forecasts, and actuals.
  • Reporting is available in detail or summary levels. We use both.
  • Customer support is quick to respond and very helpful.

Budgyt provides a user-friendly interface for the financial data within our ERP (Microsoft Dynamics GP). It provides a self-service approach for our leaders to look at financial data (comparison of actual to Budget, projection, prior year, etc.) and then be able to drill down into the detail that supports those numbers without having to rely on the Finance Team for analysis.
  • Monthly comparisons to budget
  • Drill down to transactional detail
  • Ad hoc analysis comparing current year to budget, projection, and prior years
Budgyt is well-suited to serve as a user-friendly interface with an ERP's financial data allowing non-financial leaders to access their department's performance---actuals to budget, projection, or prior years and allow them to drill down into detail without the assistance of finance professionals.

As a department manager, Budgyt allows me to view my department's finances, explain variances, and communicate with the CFO and CEO regarding financial issues, as well as make and approve budgets.
  • Compare one fiscal year with another
  • Track expenses
  • Create a workable budget
  • Communicate with Leadership
  • I would have appreciated having access to training videos.
Budget is very well suited to our mid-size healthcare organization. It would probably also work very well for larger institutions. A tiny company would probably not benefit as much.

The solution is extremely user-friendly and packed with powerful features such as scenario-based data modeling, segregation capability, Xero integration, SAML 2.0 authentication support, and so on. Aileen Zelekowitz, our implementation consultant, was fantastic throughout the implementation phase, gathering requirements, leading workshops, and assisting us in configuring the system.
  • Good User Interface
  • Scenario Based Modelling
  • Xero Integration
  • SAML 2.0
  • Better system performance
  • Open APIs
  • Intutive User Interface
Budgyt gives you the best value for money for small to medium size organisations. I strongly recommend getting their Budgyt Guru support package for the implementation which will make your life easier as they have an awesome team of consultants available to ensure that the customer requirements and expectations are delivered by the time of go-live.

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.

As a nonprofit, I have 6 business managers who provide variance reports in Budgyt. We use Quickbooks and then export actual data to Budgyt, which houses our annual budget. The budgets are created by each manager and they are held to any variances. They then use these variances as one of their tools in setting the next year's budget...
  • Reports by Class
  • Comparison to previous year...budget or actual
  • Rolling up or expanding the data based on the audience
  • Automatic import or export for Quickbooks Desktop...but this is coming very soon!!
For a nonprofit with a budget or $3-$4M, it is perfect and I cannot imagine where it would not fit in. They have talked about a lot of additions that I believe will make this the perfect tool for any company, but for me, it is perfect--well, almost perfect!

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.
