## Budgyt Reviews
  ### 1. Robust Payroll Budgeting Module

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matthew V. | Business Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Recently Budgyt added the ability to roll up departments into regions and regions into entities, so essentially three layers. This will allow us to budget multiple locations under one entity wherever this is needed. 

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

It might be interesting to allow various charts of accounts and fiscal years for different types of businesses. There are reasonable workarounds for these issues in Budgyt, but it isn't designed this way.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problems we had before Budgyt: 
1. Multiple versions of budget drafts  - Budgyt provides a stable, centralized cloud location where the most updated version and even multiple scenarios can be curated clearly.
2. Tracking multiple contributor changes - Budgyt provides audit trails for seeing who changed what when, and optional approval settings for oversight as needed.
3. Coming from a more difficult, overly complicated budgeting platform - Budgyt is easy to use and has great training videos. This makes our company more scalable!
4. Needing an elegant payroll budgeting tool - Budgyt has a detailed payroll module that helps us to forecast employer cost of employees with excellence.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

> Thank you Matt for the review.  In response to the various chart of accounts issue.  If a Category is to live in a different Group depending on Department then while doing the setup, the complexity of tracking user permissions, hierarchy roll up and many other things become very, very difficult to understand and maintain.   We have found after onboarding over 1,000 companies it is better to have a universalized COA if you want to consolidate your finanicals across multiple different businesses.  For instance, if Rent Expense is in COGS in one business but in Opex in another then all readers of the financials will be confused about rent in a consolidated roll up.  It is better to make two different Rent categories with different codes and description to reduce confusion.

  ### 2. Budgyt is awesome!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kathleen P. | Financial Controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I found a small programming issue on a report  that I brought to James (Founder and CEO) attention, and received a same day response, with a follow up that the issue would be resolved within 3 business days. Now that's service! 

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

I would like to be able to view data sheets from two different scenarios at the same time (on 2 different monitors) However as soon as you go to one, it wants to refresh to the other scenario. That may just be beyond their control, as a cloud based product. 

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No more massive spreadsheet with formulas that I couldn't trust other managers to use the file. Had to copy their input into my master file.  Monthly forecasts were near impossible before. Better accuracy on payroll budgeting.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

> Hi Kathleen,
Thank you for the review.   We have made the variance amount from the Comparison dashboard as hyperlink to the Variance Analysis view that let's you compare the category across two scenarios against all departments by month.  This is the view to use if you want to compare the same category across two scenarios.  It has further drill down on the variance on this view as well.



  ### 3. Streamlines Budgeting with User-Friendly Features

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Claudia G.

**Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2026

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I like that everyone is able to view Budgyt, including our program directors. It's pretty easy to sync data from QuickBooks or other accounting software into Budgyt after expenses are in. I also like the ability to duplicate budgets that have been set. Since there's a lot of work that goes into setting budgets, being able to duplicate them and make some changes is useful. Data syncing is really important, and it's been helpful for program directors who may not be comfortable with QuickBooks. Budgyt provides a rolled-up view of how program income and expenses look like for the month, the year, and historically. It allows us to get granular in details while also encouraging a high-level perspective.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

I think the sync from QuickBooks includes all the line item expenses, but the search of those line item expenses is not very user-friendly in Budgyt. There are a lot of single transactions, like food costs or program contractor costs, and our program directors have a hard time rolling that up into the types of different expenses that fall under each category. We pay a lot of attention to this in budgeting, but don't have a great way of extrapolating that in Budgyt.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Budgyt helps us with planning, budgeting, and forecasting, including projecting revenue and net income. It allows us to compare forecasts to actuals, manage unexpected grants, and adjust to revenue changes efficiently.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

> Hi Claudia, thank you for the review.  We do have the ability for you to control the detail level of data imported from
Qbo.  Under manage category you can set each category to import memo, vendor/customer/location (dimension) or none or both.  You’ll see that drop down choice when editing the category. If you set that then you import the detail level you want instead of every category set for full details.  Additionally users can filter their variance analysis at the vendor/customer/location (dimension) level.  Reach out to support@Budgyt.com if you want us to show you!

  ### 4. Budgyt Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karen P. | Business Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2023

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I now have four years with the software and have the ability to use the data and reports to make decisions based on a period of years. 

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

I have no dislikes with the software! The team at Budgyt work hard and provide great customer service!  I needed a custom chart for a Board meeting, and the team was able to provide it!  

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Budgyt is a huge time saver for me as it has simplified the budget process.  Using an excel spreadsheet for 200 line items was very time consuming.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

> Hi Karen,
Thank you for the review and kind remarks.

  ### 5. Streamlined Finance Management with Easy Setup

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angela B. | Controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I really appreciate Budgyt for its simplicity in both uploading data and providing straightforward presentation while still offering the ability to drill down for more detailed information. This feature is incredibly useful as it allows managers to review department income statements efficiently and provides the finance team with an easy way to identify any coding oddities. Additionally, the initial setup process for Budgyt was very easy, which made the integration seamless for our team. Furthermore, the ability of Budgyt to give managers access to only the information they need streamlines our operations. I'm also impressed with Budgyt to the extent that I rate it a 9 out of 10, and often recommend it to colleagues.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

I would like to have demos of all the features, as there are aspects like the FTE/payroll piece that we are not currently using. It would help to see these features being demonstrated so I can conceptualize how they work and potentially integrate them into our processes.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Budgyt provides managers with clear, department-specific income statements, which our current accounting software struggles with, ensuring they access only necessary information. It simplifies data upload and presentation while allowing detailed drill-downs.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

> Hi Angela, Thank you for the remarks.  We will add these types of over view videos to our video academy.  We can show you the way any feature will work for you.  We like to hear your requirement and advise on the best way to use Budgyt to solve that.  After onboarding over 800 customers during the past 13 years we have seen a lot budget models and our platform can handle most any requirement.  

  ### 6. Intuitive Budgeting Made Easy with Budgyt

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jen S.

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I love Budgyt for its ease of use and intuitive design. It has made budgeting and forecasting much simpler for our small nonprofit organization. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, not only for me but also for others in my team, as it is quite easy to teach them how to use it. This intuitive interface has greatly streamlined what used to be a complex and cumbersome process in Excel, significantly enhancing our productivity. Furthermore, the initial setup was pretty straightforward, thanks to the supportive team at Budgyt. They took the time to understand our organization's needs and mapped everything out for us, which made the transition seamless. Overall, Budgyt has transformed our budgeting process into a much more efficient and less stressful task.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

I find that Budgyt has limitations with its integration capabilities. Although there have been significant updates to allow for automatic downloads directly from QuickBooks into Budgyt, it currently only supports automation with one company at a time. This limitation is inconvenient, especially when managing multiple entities, and it would be beneficial if the automation could be expanded to accommodate multiple companies simultaneously.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Budgyt simplifies budgeting by replacing our complex Excel system, making it intuitive and easy to teach others, which eases our financial planning tasks.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

> Hi Jen, Yes i agree getting multiple QBO APIs in place would be great.  We are aiming to examine that in Q1 2026 as we now have a plan to address the multiple COA between entities and how to consolidate those using the QBO identity codes.  See if you have three entities and they all have rent and they have the same COA code but QBO behind the scenes makes each of those Rent Categories a unique code and the challenge has been to know how to relate those to the one universal rent or in some cases that rent needs to be in a different roll up group.  So coding for all the variations has been a challenge.  

  ### 7. Effortless Budget Management with Stellar Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David T. | Director of Finance &amp; Administration, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I love Budgyt for its ease in managing our non-profit organization’s budget and financial reporting. The ability to easily view actuals and update projections using our cost-centered model of accounting is invaluable. I find dissecting our financial information through Budgyt's multiple dashboard views to be particularly impressive, simplifying complex financial data into understandable insights. Additionally, I appreciate the great support from the Budgyt project team, which has been very helpful. The initial setup was straightforward and guided by the Budgyt team, making the process smooth and stress-free. Finally, the integration with Intacct accounting is seamless, which enhances our workflow efficiency significantly.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

Nothing.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Budgyt to manage our budget and financial reporting, simplifying the process with multiple dashboard views to dissect financial details and update projections effortlessly.

  ### 8. Made for Accountants

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** JJ M. | Controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Easy to upload information, easy to navigate, and easy to manipulate how you need. 

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

More report functions could be useful if you could personalize them.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Budgyt offers us the ability to more accurately forecast future years.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

> Hi JJ, We have released our new visualizations and advanced reporting late Dec 2025.  Now you can memorize or build any board package report you need.  Contact support@Budgyt.com to get started!

  ### 9. A powerful budgeting tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Becky S. | Senior Technical Associate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Where do I start?  Budgeting is the most important part of the accounting cycle, in my mind.  If there is not an understanding of how funds come in and go out (and a plan for tracking/managing those funds), how can an organization measure their performance and determine where they are going?  Budgyt is a powerful tool that can help your organization with financial management.
The implementation team is knowledgeable and helps you get off the ground.  The support team is there for follow up questions.  The features in Budgyt are easy to learn/use and can be customized to fit your organization's needs.  The employee module and related HR formulas are great tools to help budget and forecast personnel costs.  Speaking of forecasting, that is another one of my favorite features.  Through creation of different scenarios, it's easy to view data under multiple assumptions.  Budget does not break like an Excel workbook can break, and does not require extensive knowledge of advanced Excel functions in order to perform budgeting and forecasting tasks.  I have the fortunate opportunity to work with Budgyt on an almost-daily basis and it's one of the reasons I love my job!  We work exclusively with nonprofits and it's an affordable, feature-packed tool that helps our clients budget in a collaborative and transparent manner, with the end goal of Budgyt providing timely, accurate and useful information that helps drive decision-making.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

Honestly, I can't point to anything specific that I dislike about Budgyt.  I haven't come across a situation that isn't "workable" within Budgyt.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There are many ways that Budgyt helps solve problems.  Here are two examples that come to mind.  

Scenario 1 - an organization's budget was completed primarily by the Executive Director.  As the organization grew and changed, Budgyt was implemented so that multiple managers could be involved in the process.  Upon implementing a collaborative budgeting process, there is more shared knowledge and accountability, as managers receive timely budget vs actual reports for their department and can make decisions with that information.  

Scenario 2 - an organization that relies heavily on Private and Federal Funding to cover its personnel costs uses the Employee Module in Budgyt to determine how salary and benefit costs will be allocated.  They receive notice that a large private funder or the Federal Government will not be continuing their funding.  Assumptions in the Employee Module can easily be adjusted and viewed against multiple revenue targets, so that the organization can make timely decisions.  Budgyt is a tool that can keep pace with rapidly changing information.

  ### 10. Great collaborative tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mindy M. | Product Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2023

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I love how detailed Budgyt is and how easy it is to use as a collaborative tool in our org. Having different scenarios that I can view to compare is critical.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

If you/your teams aren't super familiar with accounting practices, it could be confusing to use as a stakeholder. Additionally, I wish I could have two different views open at the same time. For example, if I'm trying to have my budget view open and make updates to my Actuals, I can't have the line items open on two different screens. This causes me to have to screenshot budget items to update on a different screen. It's not ideal.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Full org budget planning and forecasting across various time frames (quarterly vs annually vs monthly).

  ### 11. Powerful, User-friendly Budgeting & Reporting Tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2023

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Love the Budgyt platform! Very intuitive and easy to use, with capabilities that allow users to get more detailed and complicated as needed. Allows us to enter data in detail (or summary) in a way that makes it incredibly accessible and easy to read for non-finance users, which is ultimately a huge time saver for our finance team. Everyone on the Budgyt team that I have spoken to or worked with from sales to support (including the CEO & founder who took one of my training/implementation calls) has been awesome. The training was great (the video academy might be my single favorite & most-used/recommended training feature in any program ever), onboarding and implementation were made super easy (as far as those things go), and ongoing support (on the rare occasions it's been needed; it's been mostly out-of-the-box questions/ideas that I've brought up post-go-live) is excellent & very personable - huge shout-out to "budgyt guru" Aileen who has been immensely helpful from day 0 to the present, anticipating our needs at times before we even did.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

My only 'complaint' is that, while several additional features that have been implemented since we began using Budgyt (dashboards, cash flow, balance sheet) I am still anxiously awaiting the #1 item on my wishlist - live integration with Sage Intacct API to eliminate manual import of actual data. But I'm confident that when it arrives it will work correctly.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

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).

  ### 12. Budgyt - Making Life Easy without Excel

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2023

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Budgyt has been a game changer for our organization. After one budget season went up in flames with a large Excel spreadsheet error, we needed something different.  We reviewed the market for budgeting systems and fairly quickly selected Budgyt.  Of key value to us was a seamless and quick interface with Quick Books Online, which Budgyt features.  With our Budgyt implementation we can effectively ‘layer’ our budgeting process.  In our case this allows for independent budgets based on geographical location that can then be consolidated for a full organization roll-up.  Layers could also easily be product lines or large departments.  The user interface for Budgyt is streamlined and easy to use, particularly for non-technically oriented employees.  Timeframes and included roll-up layers can be easily selected or removed.  During our implementation we had some key questions that were handled rapidly and clearly by the Budgyt implementation team, as well as a large and continually evolving online learning system.  Selecting and implementing Budgyt has proven to be one of the best financial decisions our organization has ever made.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

Not every module of Budgyt is likely to be needed for most implementations.  We do not use the Employee module, which is handled in a separate HR system.  There is also a learning curve to using Budgyt, mostly for the implementation team, but it is quite intuitive for basic system users.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Avoiding Excel spreadsheets, and allowing for flexibility in how to roll up our organization to a consolidated view.

  ### 13. Easy to implement and use, great time saver.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sharon L. | VP of Business Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

More than 95% of our costs are payroll and contractor related and we are global company with employees and contractors in approx 30 countries. Budgeting against those costs in Excel spreadsheets was a nightmare. Budgyt has made this so much easier and saved us a huge amount of time. 
We are also able to share department budgets to department heads and a high level overview of the whole budget very easily without sharing information they shouldn't see.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

Nothing really. There are some idiosyncrasies around formulas and importing data, but once you understand them everything works well. Support were very responsive and helpful.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Complex forecasting and budgeting.

  ### 14. Outstanding Product and Service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steve M. | Chief Financial Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Very competitive price, which is important for a small- to mid-sized non-profit. Setup is easy, interface is intuitive. Can do easy reviews of multiple budgets (year over year, mid-year forecast, actual to budget). Very responsive support.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

The visualizations add on was less integrated than other functions.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allowed us to move from a link-intensive spreadsheet environment to a cloud-based environment, with user security at a departmental level. Allows multiple directors to input and view their own budgets, while Finance can do instant consolidation, rather than gather and aggregate 20+ departmental spreadsheets.

  ### 15. Saved our company time and money

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

The software is user friendly and customizable. You are able to build your platform as part of the start up with a budgyt representative. They record the trainings and you can go back to them each year when you start the budgeting process. The pre recorded videos in their library are super helpful and cover most scenarios everyone will need.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

There is no interface with Microsoft  Dynamics which we use for our GL. I'm sure this is something they are working on. So we just have to import our financials for forecast and budgeting.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Budgyt fixed the allocation methodology for the administrative allocation. This was a nightmare the first year since it was a manual process that had to be updated each time something was changed. Its automatic now.

  ### 16. Sr. Budget Coordinator

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Evodie  C. | Senior Budget and accounting Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

There are lots of things I like about the software, for example, it is easy to review financial statements espercially tracking expenses and variance report. it is good for organizations that track employee efforts on various programs.  it easy to import track your budget versus actual.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

I do not dislike it, I think the sofware is amazing. I just wish there was more vidoes on how to tract indirect cost.  The good thing is, they have a great team that is always willing to help when you need it.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used to do alot of things manually, and having lots of mistakes. Budget is preventing us from using a giant spreadhseet that has lot of mistake and good to storing data. With Budgyt, our numbers are consistent and accurate, we do not have people change data by mistakes.

  ### 17. Budgyt was a great choice for simplifying the budgeting process

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I like the reporting options with 3 different scenarios the most.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

The initial price, which included the initial setup costs planned for 8 hours, seemed a bit high to me.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was building the budget in Excell and I had to fill in each amount in the budget fields, which was very frustrating, time-consuming and with the risk of errors in the budget. In Budgyt, I got rid of this chore because I bring my amounts through imports from all the sources used for collecting information and I can focus more on analysis now.

  ### 18. Budgeting Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Thom T. | Director of Finance and Administration, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Feature rich. The cloud-based user-friendly interface integrates easily, streamlines implementation and training, and makes for easy input and tracking of expenses, shows detail of prior years, while the reporting tools provide valuable insights into my financial situation. The ability to customize and create forecasts is instrumental in helping us stay on track with financial goals. Overall, Budgyt has improved our budgeting process, reduced labor costs, and helps to avoid keying errors. I highly recommend Budgyt software to anyone looking for an effective budgeting solution. The training staff is well versed in the product and has been a joy to work with.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

Nothing. I haven't found any dislikes while learning and using Budgyt.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having all the data in one spot helps to analize and report out to our board members, as well as providiing the finance committee direct access anytime they need.

  ### 19. Great Service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ann Marie C. | CFO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

This is a great tool for a small growing company.  Lots of flexibility.  Implementation was handled by the Budgyt team and was a fairly smooth process.  The support team is easy to deal with

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

No issues at this time.  We have just started using the tool

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our prior model was bulky and not scalable.  This provides badly needed automation and seemless budget to actual information

  ### 20. Extremely Capable Budgeting  / Reporting Tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Great product, well thought out, flexible, fast, and the support and training is very good and personal, including all of the available videos on various topics that are easy to digest. The best feature of all isn't a feature so much as its foundation: you can create multiple scenarios so easily on one set of base data and combine actuals with future budget figures to create projections easily. The staff at Budgyt did a good job of taking our raw info and setting it all up for us.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

Some of the reporting isn't as 'pretty' or presentable in PDF form as I might like for non-financial audience. Would love more customization for cash flow report to conform for how we like to present it or break out various GL codes into their own bucket. As I say this, there's probably a way that I have not discovered yet.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing budget process better and collaboratively.

  ### 21. Great for detailed line-item budgeting!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul R. | Treasurer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

Budgyt makes it possible to consolidate detailed line-item budget planning into once place.

Budgyt accomplishes this by offering the largest number of sub-tiers of any budget SAAS out there, unlimited line-items under each lowest level account category, and line-item notes for expense/income justification. No more department-level spreadsheets because your budgeting software only supports 2 or 3 sub-tiers. You can easily fit every nit-picky detail into Budgyt!

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

After years of using Budgyt, I still struggle with using the built-in equation builders. They are highly customizable, which is great, but they don't always seem to follow traditional math logic. I've resorted to running the few calculations I need to do externally and linking a spreadsheet to a Budgyt line item, which works fine for me and is a small price to pay for the level of detailed planning Budgyt facilitates.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Budgyt to budget and forecast annually and quarterly in our church. Budgyt allows a substantial amount of detail in it's budget scenarios, which makes it easy to keep all expense planning and justification in one place.

The Budgyt platform has made my budgeting process so much easier. Being able to move away from using multiple, linked Excel spreadsheets has been great. The version control is great. Being able to create and present several different models is great. The employee module and the formulas modules are excellent. The customer service is also exceptional.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

There is nothing about the Budgyt platform that I dislike.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Budgyt has allowed me to move away from using Excel spreadsheets to budget.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark D. | Business Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

As a Financial Controller I depend on Budgyt for my monthly variance analysis and can easily drill down to understand the reasons for variances versus the budget. It integrates beautifully with QuickBooks, down to the transaction level. Non-accounting users can see the same information and can manage their budgets more effectively. Budgyt has also been a superb tool for developing the annual budget, especially for payroll and benefits. The support is great.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

The set up time and learning curve were significant, but worth it. The reports aren't so aesthetically pleasing.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

  ### 30. Game-Changer for Our Budgeting Process!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

We've been using Budgyt for the past two plus years, and it has completely transformed the way we manage our budgeting process.

However, Budgyt has streamlined everything, making it efficient and straightforward.The interface is quite intuitive and user-friendly.

Previous budget worksheets were spreadsheet-based and subject to user error resulting in erroneous budgets.

I like the ability to import and export data with ease, run reports, and just how easy it is to use.

  ### 45. Budgyt has drastically improved my financial presentations to senior leadership

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

I enjoy the countless formats you can splice your income statements.  I enjoy the ease of combining varying departments within an income statement, and isolating specific departments. I also enjoy the ease of combining multiple entities together into one report (an entity per column, for example). The consistency of the rows of data amongst an entity's report also enables me to copy/paste additional columns of data from other reports within Budgyt (very easily and readily creating my own version of a report not available in budgyt).

Our organization also enjoys the ability to copy data from a previous period or scenario, into a new budgeting scenario for a prospective period.  It's helpful to not have to start from sratch each year with descriptions and/or amounts.

Customer support is prompt in replying to our questions when we are having issues, and their explanations are sufficient to enable us to understand the problem and prevent it on go-forwards.

We use this program nearly every day, and it's greatly improved our efficiency and quality of reports we provide as financial accountants.

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

Our complaints are pretty limited!

(1) The latest update hasn't allowed us to wholly remove %'s from one of the reports.  It removes % of totals but not the % variances.  It would be nice if there were 4 tiers of options instead.

option 1. entirely remove % from reports
option 2. only % of total showing
option 3. only % of variances showing
option 4. both % options from 2/3 above showing

We are now removing information from reports exported to excel as the program doesn't have an option to remove the % option wholly/entirely.

(2) We would love the option to copy 'phrasing only' from a scenario into a prospective new budgeting scenario.  It's very possible this is an option, but we haven't figured this out yet!

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Combining and consolidating income statements ---- Its far more efficient in the Budgyt program than an excel doc we formerly used that continuously crashes and has the dreaded #REFs.

More transparent data for users of financial statements ---- users who have access to Budgyt can now view / drill down into their financial statements when they're curious of a number.  ---these same users also refer to their budgets more frequently than they did when they were all in excel. 

More impressive, consistent, and helpful presentations --- the flipping of data on it's head to showcase numbers in various formats is useful for different users of the income statements.

**Official Response from James McCoy:**

> Hi, we coupled the variance check box to include dollar and % variances.  We do have the other options you desire.  We will look into creating an option to hid the variance %.

  ### 46. Budgyt is Perfect for our Multiple Location Budget Needs

**Reviewed by:** Zac T. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

We truly have not yet found any major downsides to using budget.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our multiple location budgeting process has been very difficult in the past. Budgyt has helped us simplify this process, and their excel linking simplifies the process for anyone not familar with the software. This allows us to us all fuctions of the software, making it easy to gather input from even our less tech savvy team members.

  ### 49. Budgyt is the BEST!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Recreational Facilities and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Budgyt?**

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! Thanks James!

**What do you dislike about Budgyt?**

Nothing so far! Might want to upgrade to Balance sheet and/or Visualizations later.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can EASILY forecast monthly now so can bet a better picture of the year ahead, and even will try 12 month rolling forecast.

  ### 50. Best cost effective budget tool out there

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

Budgyt is a great tool if you've done some budget models before. If it's your first time then some of the concepts might be foreign to you.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ability to model across multiple business units for us and multiple counties in various currencies
