Business Budget Utilities

Set a budget, meet goals, and evaluate your company's financial condition.

A budget, simply stated, is just a financial plan for your business. When a budget is in place, it can help you to meet goals, put new goals in place, and evaluate the financial condition of your company. The EBMS budget module is a key tool in managing your business because it is built to set goals and plans for the year ahead, or further out.

Project Income and Profits

The EBMS Budget module is an important management tool used to project a plan for the New Year or additional future years. This projection becomes a guide to compare actual expenses and income to the projection or budget. The budget system can be used to project income and profits and create a comparison picture to measure the progress of the company.

Set Monthly & Annual Budgets

Set monthly/annual budgets, calculate your budget with formulas that are based on percents of actual sales and expenses, and more. This allows the business manager to get an accurate picture of how the company is progressing toward the goals set.

The EBMS Budget module can help answer the following question you may have about your business:

  • Will I have the income to pay for projected expenses?
  • Are my current sales and expenses meeting the goals required to earn my projected profits?
  • Are my overhead costs within a manageable level?
  • Do I have the information needed to decide the company's financial decisions?

Start with a simple budget and add complexity by using formulas and variables as needed.
