Our Activity-Based Budget model is a flexible and robust solution for making realistic and transparent budgets based on activity data.
It expresses expense budgets as budgets for activity counts and cost per activity.
Budgets built with this model capture more detail about what types of activity drive each expense account in each cost center.
It allows you to concentrate on planning and tracking your business, rather than spreadsheet construction.
