Does spend update budgets automatically?

Yes - every expense and bill counts against the matching budget the moment it is recorded.

  • No manual tallying or spreadsheet updates
  • Live remaining-balance for each budget
  • Overspend is visible immediately

Because spend and budgets share the same data, your figures are never out of date.

Can I budget by team or project?

Yes - budgets can be scoped to a category, department or project so accountability is clear.

  • Compare planned vs actual per area

Do budgets connect to reporting?

Yes - planned versus actual figures feed your financial reports so variance is easy to read.

  • Variance against plan in your reports
  • Spot trends before they become overspend
  • One view of plan and reality

Budgets are not a separate exercise - they sit inside the same finance reporting.
