Budget versionsA version is a frozen photograph of the budget figures. Actuals are never versioned. Save an Approved version when the budget is signed off (it becomes the year's baseline); save Latest estimate versions during the year. Viewing a version is read-only; restoring is an explicit, guarded rollback.

Baseline vs current estimate vs actuals

Compare any two versions

Copy budget to next yearInstantiate the next fiscal year: non-contract lines are copied (amounts verbatim, New flips to Existing), contract-linked lines are regenerated from each contract's phasing for the target year, and existing target-year lines are merged, never duplicated and never deleted. Contracts ending before the target year are flagged, not carried. The copy changes the working budget only. Save an Approved version afterwards to set the new year's baseline.

People

The establishment: budgeted positions and what each one costs this year. A position's FY cost is entered, not derived: you type the fully-loaded figure Finance already carries.The months are spread across the period the position is staffed. Positions roll into a budget line the same two ways a contract does: project into landing, or apply into the plan with per-position attribution.

Teams

Allocation keys

A key is a named rule for splitting shared spend across teams.Point a budget line or contract at a key instead of a single team, and its money is divided per month by the rule. It is never stored divided. Revisions are effective-dated: change a key from July and July onward changes, while closed months stay exactly as reported.

Vendors

The parties behind your spend.

The parties behind your spendVendors are the parties behind your spend. Each can play two roles on a contract or line: the contract partner (who you pay, and maps to your ERP creditor) and the solution provider (whose technology it is). Add contacts and an optional Vendor ID to link to ERP data later.

Users & roles

Workspace

Identity
Shown in the sidebar, breadcrumb and page title.
One currency per workspace. Changing it re-labels every amount. It does not convert them, and there is no exchange rate in this version. Mixed-currency budgets are a later feature.
Display
Applies to every displayed amount. Entry accepts both styles.
Toggle per-month locks from Actuals › Period locks.
Budget targets
The FY target the live tracker on the Budget lines page measures the working budget against. Set per legal entity: an absolute amount, or a reduction versus that entity's prior-year budget. Entities left without a target count at their own working budget.
Dashboard
Use ▲▼ to set the left-to-right order of the dashboard tabs.
Drives the “vendors above threshold” KPI on the Vendors tab. Enter a whole amount in your display currency.
Accounting
Which of the two views the workspace starts in. This is a view setting, separate from the accrual treatment beside it, which decides how contract cost is spread within the Accrued view.
Accrual is an internal finance decision: do we spread contract cost over the period it covers, yes or no. The invoicing interval only sets how far each amount spreads (monthly: no change · quarterly: 3 months · annual: 12). Individual contracts can override this default. Shown in the Accrued view only; invoice-basis figures never change.
Notifications
Alerts fire this many months before each contract's notice date (not its end date).
Where your data lives
This workspace is a single file running in your browser. Your budget is stored in this browser’s local storage on this machine. It is never uploaded, and nothing leaves the device unless you export it.
No server, no account, no upload.
Clearing your browser data deletes this workspace. Export a workbook regularly. That file is the backup, and it restores everything including teams, allocation keys and users.

StorageAutosaves to this browser. Export a copy whenever you want one you keep: Workspace settings › Export a backup now; that file restores everything, including teams, allocation keys and users.

Browser storage

Upload templatesDownload a blank .xlsx with just the header row for mass upload. Only columns the Import wizard can read are offered, so a filled-in template imports cleanly. Fill in your rows, then bring the file to the Import page.

Demo dataRestores the bundled demo dataset. Saved browser data is deleted; a connected workbook file is not modified, only disconnected.
