Video/Presentation: http://www.proformative.com/resources/video-presentation-fpa-paradigm-shift-budgeting-strategic-planning CFOs today know their team must transition from pure data gathering and budgeting, to providing insights which will enable the business to make critical decisions. While responsible for providing information critical to building the strategic plan, finance is still rolling up numbers, sweating out the details from multiple roll ups, stressing from minimal visibility into the decisions behind the numbers ? all of which allows little time for real analytics. In this educational session you will learn how to engage and empower all users in the budgeting process to overcome the barriers of the past and to become financial experts driving critical decisions. Understanding the pitfalls as well as best practices will help to empower your team to move from budgeting to more of strategic planning. Speakers: Jason Webster, CEO & Founder, Archetype Ted Dacko, CEO, XLerant, Inc. Presentation delivered at CFO Dimensions 2013 - http://www.cfodimensions.com Track: Finance Technology | Session: 2

- 15. 15© 2013 If budgeting is a financial application, why are 90% of your users non-financial people? Here‟s a Question…
- 17. 17© 2013 Everything currently done in Excel Excel is cumbersome, need more integrity in the numbers , eliminate errors Ease of use/User experience - Budget entry that makes sense to the budgeter (not just plugging numbers into a spreadsheet) Can‟t see how budget ties to strategy Can‟t budget different accounts different ways for different departmental needs Need quick implementation GL can‟t handle budget process All headcount planning done in Excel Workflow, approval process is non-existent Variance reporting, reporting is inflexible This Is What We Typically Hear…
- 19. 19© 2013 Is Excel Really Free? • Time to build macros • Time lost when spreadsheets don’t come in on time • Time to manage incoming spreadsheets • Time to check for spreadsheet changes • Time to consolidate • Time to transfer data for reporting purposes • How do you assign cost to an error in a spreadsheet?

- So Tempered Exhuberance…I am not sure where I heard it the first time…But if you google it, it seems to be up there with tweeting, apps and refudiate as the 2010 phrase of the year… When I think of tempered exhuberance, I think of an orangatan in a jewelry store or my three year old at the ballet…Theres a natural incongruency…But such is life in Finance in US business today…The IMF has forecasted global economic growth for 2011 at 4.4%. That sounds ok, but when you factor in the US growth at 3-3.5% and China at almost 10% that reflects a huge swing that needs to be accounted for in plans for consumer spending, sales & marketing, manufacturing, supply chains and so on

- Okay, just a little housekeeping. First of all, all participants are in listen only mode so we’re not all talking over one another. If you do have a question during the webinar just type it into the question box in your GoToMeeting panel. We’ll be collecting those and answering as many as we can at the end. We have a pretty packed agenda, so if we don’t get to all of them today we’ll be following up with you directly.I did want to mention that we will be showing you some of our budgeting application today called BudgetPak, but this is not really intended to be a full demo of the product. If you’re interested in that just let us know and we’d be happy to arrange something for you.

- Budgeting is a discreet process, meaning that as you are doing your budgeting, you do not have to be connected to other systems…. BUT when you need to, It does interact with the transactional systems in your organization ….. so at the beginning of the process you want to load history from your GL– example might be 2 years of actual data and last years budget data into BP so Dept Heads can have a frame of reference … they can also look at things like seasonality … and expenditures from prior years …. and then they can understand how the budget they are preparing compares with last years budget or the last couple of years of actual …. You also want to bring in Headcount and Salary information .. since generally 60%- 80% of your costs are people costs…. -you can load information on EACH INDIVIDUAL Person by DEPARTMENT, THEIR SALARY INFORMATION, BENEFITS, FICA, SALARY GRADE, ETC…..SO YOU CAN PLAN FOR HEADCOUNT CHANGES, ADDITIONS & REDUCTIONS, RAISES AND BONUSES Same thing goes for Fixed Assets …. People want to know who wants what assets, when they need it, and how many by department. They also want to be sure that the assets are properly accounted for during the budget year … there are assets that need to be expensed, DEPRECIATED, ETC, … so we want to allow your people to say … I think I need to purchase some assets as part of my budget request for next year .. and then let BP use the right method to deal with that expense … Once the budget is finalized, these numbers can all be electronically put back into the GL, HR and FA systems to await the arrival of the actuals… and this process can be completely controlled by the finance team without need for IT support.
