NATICK, Mass., May 2, 2007 – Small and mid-market businesses using QuickBooks® financial software for accounting now have easy connectivity to Budget Maestro®, a leading budgeting and forecasting solution, Centage Corporation announced today.
Centage, an Intuit Developer Network Member, has introduced Link Maestro™ for QuickBooks, a data integration tool that provides fast and easy transfer of critical financial information from QuickBooks Pro, Premier and Enterprise Products, 2005 to 2007 editions, into its Budget Maestro® solution.
The automatic exchange of financial information streamlines data analysis, improves accuracy by eliminating manual data transfer, and speeds the monthly analysis of key metrics like budget to actual results.

“Growing businesses need to focus on serving customers by automating the tasks related to effectively managing their resources, personnel and cash. They shouldn’t have to worry about the integrity of their financial analysis on cash flow and other key metrics,” said Centage president and CEO Kamran Sassoon. “With QuickBooks and Budget Maestro integration, they can trust the integrity of their financial reports and focus their energies where they are most needed,” he said.
Link Maestro and Budget Maestro are available directly from Centage Corporation and through Centage authorized resellers.
