Make your budget meaningful

 The very words “budgeting and planning” remind accounting professionals of long, exhausting hours spent developing a budget. Errors in consolidation formulas, working with the wrong historical information and data inaccuracies can complicate the process, leading to a financial plan that does not reflect the goals of your organization. Involving more people in the budgeting process is time consuming and makes the process more difficult, and budget contributors generally don’t have the time necessary to provide insightful numbers that tie back to the strategic goals of the company. And finally, resulting plans are often obsolete by the time they are approved. With these challenges and more, it’s no wonder that budgeting and planning can keep finance executives awake at night.

But you can’t afford to give up, and you don’t have to. Microsoft® Forecaster, the powerful budgeting and planning application from FRx Software Corporation – a Microsoft subsidiary, was designed specifically for budgeting and planning. It’s the fast, affordable way to gain control of your organization’s budgeting process, preserve the integrity of your data and formulas, and involve the right people.
