Operating Budget

Project details

What we need
  • A detailed Operating Budget covering at least one full fiscal year
  • Expert advice on how to reconcile actual expenses with budgeted expenses
Additional details

Need assistance on a more streamlined process to update budget and a new budget template.

What we have in place
  • We currently have operating budget and cash flow, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a program plan for next year, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,114 , allowing us to efficiently update and share budgets with board members and funders.

The current process to create the operating budget and update it with actual expenses from Quickbooks is inefficient. The template is confusing for staff, board members and funders. We need someone who understands how to create a template that is easily read and understood by all.
