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

We are a 30 year old agency seeking to modernize and make our budget process more manageable, transparent and efficient. We are open to using digital tools to facilitate the budgeting process and happy to start from scratch to create a robust process.

What we have in place
  • We currently have last year's budget, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have chart of accounts (through Quickbooks), and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,114 , allowing us to expand our youth transition program and seed our new Advocacy and Education department.

We are an older agency and over the years our budgeting process has become less than optimal. We are looking to readdress the process from bottom to top and create a sustainable system for the next 30 years.
