Driver-Based Budgeting for Your Business

Driver-based budgeting is a process that ties resources and activities to the financials in the budgeting process. This approach works to identify key business drivers and creates models around them. These models link to the operating plan and can help predict how an organization would fare when faced with different variables.

A Driver-Based Budget that Programs Itself

Planning Maestro’s built-in accounting rules and business logic mean you can easily build and shape an accurate and dependable driver-based budget on your own, in a matter of days. No programming. No formulas. No links and logic to maintain. It’s all done for you within our business budgeting software, and it’s all GAAP compliant. No more errors from linking complex formulas and macros across spreadsheets.

Keep Your Budget in Sync with Your Accounts

Planning Maestro seamlessly integrates with popular general ledger (GL) sources to fully automate the secure exchange of financial information. Because driver-based budgets are managed at the activity level, all GL transactions are automatically posted to the budget and accurately accounted for.
