Move Beyond Spreadsheets with Martus
If your organization uses MIP Cloud or Sage Intacct for accounting but still relies on spreadsheets for budgeting, forecasting, and reporting, you’re definitely not alone.
Spreadsheets work, until they don’t. Multiple versions, formulas that get changed, budgets being emailed back and forth, and hours spent pulling everything together can make an already complicated budgeting process even harder.
That’s where Martus can help.
Welter Consulting is pleased to offer Martus, a budgeting and financial planning solution that integrates with both MIP Cloud and Sage Intacct. It gives finance teams a better way to manage budgeting, forecasting, and reporting without relying so heavily on spreadsheets.
Make Budgeting a Little Easier
Budgeting gets complicated quickly when multiple departments, managers, and spreadsheets are involved. And if you’ve ever tried to figure out which version of the budget is actually the right version, you already know the problem.
Martus brings the process together in one place and connects directly with your accounting system.
With Martus, your organization can:
- Create and manage budgets collaboratively across departments
- Compare budgets to actual financial results
- Build forecasts and model different financial scenarios
- Budget for salaries, benefits, new positions, and other personnel costs
- Create financial reports and dashboards for management and board members
- Reduce manual spreadsheet consolidation and version-control issues
- Give users secure, role-based access to the information they need
In other words, your team can spend less time managing spreadsheets and more time using the information in them.
Using MIP Cloud?
MIP Cloud provides a strong fund accounting foundation for nonprofit and government organizations. Martus works alongside MIP to add collaborative budgeting, forecasting, and reporting.
Financial information from MIP Cloud flows into Martus, giving your team better visibility into budget-to-actual results and reducing the amount of information that has to be manually moved, combined, or recreated.
Using Sage Intacct?
Martus also integrates with Sage Intacct, connecting your accounting data with your budgeting, forecasting, and reporting process.
That means your finance team can work from current financial information while giving department managers and organizational leaders better access to the information they need without creating another spreadsheet for everyone to keep track of.
Is Martus Right for You?
We are big believers that technology should make your job easier. If a new system just gives your finance team one more thing to manage, what’s the point?
Martus won’t be the right solution for every organization, and that’s okay. Welter Consulting can help you take a look at how you’re budgeting today, where the headaches are, and whether Martus makes sense with your current accounting system and processes.
If it’s a good fit, we’ll help you take the next step.
