Budgyt vs. Centage

Budgyt is great for instant consolidation of a multi-department and multi-entity organization. It has strong hierarchy and roll-ups at various levels. User setup and security is straightforward, with ability to restrict data to only department heads over a project. Excellent capability in salary and benefit calculation, for instance down to each type of state and federal tax, and each type of employee health benefit with individual cost as specific as necessary. Strong export functionality.

Centage is suited for all types of business. This is what makes this tool so great. It requires some expertise in setting it up and depending on how complex the business is, it may take longer than expected. It's a complex system and if you are not involved in the implementtion it might be hard to learn what is does.

• Combining departments (components of an entity or a component of various entity's income statement) or isolating departments (small slivers) of an entity's income statement. We can look at specific departments of specific entities together, with ease.
• Splicing / flipping reports into countless formats. Helpful for users of the financial statements that digest data/numbers differently than the financial accountants who prepare the numbers.
• It is relatively easy to import data from our Jonas accounting program into Budgyt.
• We've had prompt customer service when we've encountered issues and they were readily available during implementation.

• Planning personnel with all the related benefit expenses is very accurate and we are able to forecast increases as well.
• Storing separate versions of the budget allows us to finalize for the year and have access to the data while we update the default plan with any changes.
• I ilke the way you can add intelligence see the detail of calculations below th eline item.
• I like writing Planning Maestro reports to see drill downs of any item and tie them to our ERP Budget

• Inside setting up HR forumlas, it should give more than one filter criteria.
• Application got slow after putting the information of HR module and formuals, need to speed up.
• Selection of multiple companies with different GLs can be an option where it is lacking.
• Didn't see the multicurrency feature, can be a good add on.

• Head count is a bit strange as each period is considered one Headcount for a total of 12 per year, so we have to adjust when running reports
• would love to be able to attach related expenses in payroll to a kind of employee instead of doing each individually. It's time consuming.
• Have the help more available instead of having to log into separate place

Our organization has increased our level of financial reporting and decreased the time it takes to build a budget with the Budgyt platform. Because our budget managers have access, it allows them a higher level of ownership for their areas.

Incredibly easy to use and intuitive. Design is simple without lacking functionality. Limited learning curve makes it very easy to set up and start using, and with little practice it becomes incredibly easy to perform routine tasks, including monthly update of actual data, running and analyzing reports, as well as building budgets, forecasts, and 'what-if' scenarios

I've lived through the changes over the years, and I have found that most financially-minded professionals should have no problems using this system.

James the founder always replies to my emails in a timely manner, even if overseas. Has not passed me on to a customer service support team member. Rob was great with the initial demos as explored the product to see if it was what we wanted. Online documentation and videos are very good

We were fortunate to have the founder lead us through a video conference to teach our users how to use the system. Totally invaluable!

I used to use an older consolidating product call FRX or something like that, very manual where accounts were adding line the reporting lines one by one.... Centage is far superior, the ability to create custom Dimension hierarchies as improved our reporting 100 fold

The ability to budget at multiple organizational levels is central to Budgyt's design. These levels can be regions or product lines or departments, which are all easily rolled up to a consolidated organizational view. Reporting back against these levels is also built-in to the system.
