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 this for cross team budgeting and forecasting. It allows us to easily compare budgets based on team or type of expense.
  • Customer Support
  • HR Formulas
  • Line by line budgeting
  • Explaining how to use the different scenarios
  • Editing imported descriptions of expenses
I think this is the perfect tool for full orgs looking to organize budgets across many teams, especially when people might split their costs between various teams.

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 The product has assisted me with being able to create a budget with ease as our company was using an outdated excel spreadsheet that was not user friendly.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 budgeting & forcasting and it helps us solve the problems we used to face while using excel, as we have multiple companies and multiple departments that are involved for our annual budget. Its a user friendly tool and easy to learn and makes our day to day life easy.
  • Solution for ultimate budeting needs.
  • Provide each and every detail to GL levels.
  • HR module is quite interesting where we can setup the whole payroll for budgeting.
  • Inside setting up HR forumlas, it should give more than one filter criteria.
  • Application got slow after putting the information of HR module and formuals, need to speed up.
  • Selection of multiple companies with different GLs can be an option where it is lacking.
  • Didn't see the multicurrency feature, can be a good add on.
One of the best budgeting softwares in market. And as it is could basaed so can be accessible from anywhere. Cloud basesd feature makes it a little slow for a big company database, where the budgyt team needs to work to make it super fast and super easy without any annoying time to wait for loading things.

Budgyt has saved me a great deal of time when it comes to managing my school's finances. It's very easy to use, and the features really simplified my budgeting process. The user-friendly dashboard allows me to easily move in and out of each school's finances and departments. Creating budgets with multiple scenarios is an amazing tool. The customer support team is also very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this software to anyone needing a cost-effective way to move away from excel. Budgyt will save you money and still provide the same functionality of some of these more costly products.
  • Manages our finances
  • User-friendly
  • Easily customizable
  • Would love to integrate Bugdyt with our accounting software
This is my first program, using Excel for as long as I have, I wish I moved to Budgyt sooner. It provides a piece of mind you cannot get with Excel. It streamlines all my departments and allows for accurate, real-time reporting. Having all my school's budgets in one platform saves me a great deal of time. Also, having the ability to easily compare them is really helpful.

Easy to create and input budget information even if there are multiple entities. You can have multiple users with specific roles and track all changes. The payroll features are robust and you are able to create numerous formulas and benefits that correlate to each employee along with the ability to allocate employees’ expenses. The reporting is powerful and with a few clicks, you’ll be able to analyze any entity, department, account, period, etc. you need. This tool is a game changer!
  • Robust reporting
  • Employee costs
  • Track changes
  • Simple integration
  • Sometimes the reports took a while to run
With Budgyt, the budgeting process was cut in half
and it has more than paid for itself in the first year. The implementation was
detailed, but needed to build a f
oundation. Navigating is easy and tracking changes,
especially with multiple users, is key. The reporting is robust and can be exported to
Excel when needed. Importing the bud
gets into our accounting system was never easier.

We use Budgyt software for budgeting. Each department head became a user so they make their own updates vs. having the accounting team do this. The dashboard is a great tool for rolling up information by entity, by a single department, or in total. Salary allocations are possible across different entities and departments.
  • No risk of formula errors like in Excel spreadsheets.
  • Drop down box under each account number for added details.
  • Intuitive to use without needing a lot of training.
  • Quick and easy training tool
  • Clearer employee management page
We have been able to streamline our annual budget process by utilizing Budgyt's software platform. Eliminates risk of formula errors, provides each user with the access you need them to have, and makes it easy to roll up the information into dashboards that are relevant. This has saved us countless hours in the annual budget process.

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.

Budgyt helped us to streamline budgeting and forecasting processes. The tool is very intuitive and packed with excellent features. There are about 50 users who regularly submit and consume information. We predominantly use the platform as a source of truth and for self-service: no more broken formulas, flying excel spreadsheets, and consolidation nightmares. The learning curve was not steep at all. Finally, customer service is exceptional.
  • Collecting information
  • Continuous improvement
  • Customer service
  • Pricing
  • Sending communication from Budgyt
Perfect for the business where input is collected from many people. It is well-equipped to run regular forecasts. Also, formulas are very powerful, and it is straightforward to prepare budgets based on business drivers. Finally, if you are looking for a reasonable price, you should give Budgyt a go. Nothing on the market is as competitively priced as Budgyt.

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!

For annual budgeting purposes by department. Allows for planning of headcount and also different scenarios. The views are easy to modify and you can drill down to a very granular level. It is very simple to see exactly what you are looking for and see how things are being calculated, how changes impact the bottom line, and project department profitability at a given time.
  • HR Formulas
  • FOA
  • Easy to modify view
  • It can take a little bit of exposure to understand formulas work (specifically HR formulas)
Budgyt is a great tool and at a very reasonable price. You can create users with customized access so users can only see what is relevant for them. This budget tool is a great tool for forward-thinking and making business decisions. It blows using excel out of the water. I highly recommend Budgyt. It is easy to reference throughout the year and compare to actuals. Overall, a huge time saver.
