| A well-organised event budget is a crucial part of organising a successful event, but creating an event budget can be an overwhelming ordeal. How much money is budgeted for catering? How much for audio/video? What are the income sources? How does it all balance out? Are you under budget or over?
Old spreadsheet difficulties…
Many event planners still rely on a stagnant book of spreadsheets that doesn’t reflect the current state of an event’s finances. Every time income is collected or expenses made, the amount must be re-keyed into the spreadsheet, creating another opportunity for error. Further problems with spreadsheets can result from broken links, different layouts in different documents, or multiple users saving spreadsheets under different names or in different places.
A New Option – faster and better…
Why struggle with spreadsheets when you can streamline the budgeting process with the Budget Management Module by EventPro Planner Software? The Budget Management Module tracks revenue and cost items as you work, increasing the speed of the collection process and eliminating errors.
Customisable templates save time…
To make data entry quick and easy, you can create budget templates for each type of event. With one click, you can copy a template into any event. Templates can easily be customised for a specific event by simply adding or removing categories or items.
A few simple steps to an automatic budget with totals and comparisons…
As you add revenue and cost items to an event, the records contain Budget fields that reflect the categories and items you set up in the Budget. After you identify the price of the item, assign the amount to the correct location in the budget by simply selecting an option from the automatically generated drop-down list. EventPro Planner Software automatically populates the budget, compares the predicted budget to actual, and tells you the percentage of the difference. No more broken links or re-keyed data!
