5. How does One Build the Budget?
• Management
reviews the
budget
and…
• Finance
creates the
forms
• Managers
input their
data by
accounting
period
• Finance
aggregates
the budget
“Repeat this cycle until either the management
team is happy with the budget or budget
managers lose their will to live”
Gartner

6. “High processing time due to lack of strategic guidance and missing link
between financial and operational plans” (limited flexibility – ability to react)
“Low plan accuracy (variance accuracy) due to inaccurate data”
“Limited level of detail for the budget”
“High number of Excel sheets that need maintenance” (versions / locations)
“Need to expand to: rolling forecasts, operational planning,
investment planning, bulk updates, pre-built depreciation calculations, version
control”
