## What it does.

The plan, and what has actually happened to it. Budgets per cost centre and period, with money that is committed kept apart from money that is spent, so a line that looks fine on the bank statement can still be visibly overdrawn. Adjustments are decided in the app rather than agreed in a thread.

-   BUDGETS A budget per cost centre and period, broken into the lines you spend against
-   COMMITTED Money promised and money gone, counted separately and both against the line
-   VARIANCE Forecast and how far over a line is, worked out rather than reported
-   ADJUSTMENTS Moving a plan is a decision with an approver, and never your own
-   SHARED The cost centres and categories the rest of Finance quotes back at you
-   WARNING An owner hears when their budget is forecast to go over, before it does

## How it connects.

Every app here installs on its own and works on its own. Adding a companion is what makes both do more.

-   Purchase Requests An approved purchase becomes a commitment on the line it named
-   Project Intake & Portfolio An approved project commits its estimate
-   Vendor & SaaS Management A renewed subscription commits next year's money

### Uses your company core

Every workspace already has these. Nothing to install, nothing to connect.
