The uncomfortable truth

Plot Twist: Your "Simple" Excel Budget Has Over 8,000 Rollup Formulas

Think you’ve got a handle on your budget? Here’s what you’re really juggling:

150 accounts × 15 departments × multiple rollup formulas = 8,000+ ways to lose credibility with your board.

Every single formula has to be perfect. Your team can’t break them. You need to be ready when board members inevitably ask “where does this number come from?”

That’s nearly impossible. (Okay, it IS impossible.)

This is exactly why Budgyt isn’t built on top of Excel. It’s built to replace Excel for budgeting entirely.

It's time to #ref! Excel budgeting

The 2am panic when you find circular references. The board meeting where you’re frantically hunting through hidden worksheets while everyone watches. The weekend you lost rebuilding formulas that shouldn’t have broken in the first place.

You’re a finance professional. It’s time to budget like one.

About Us

Built by a CFO Who Thought Good Budgeting Software Should Be Affordable

James McCoy, Founder and CEO

I spent 16 years as a CFO. I dealt with every Excel nightmare you’re dealing with right now: broken formulas, version control disasters, board meetings where someone found an error in the roll-ups.

When I finally went looking for budgeting software, every option cost $35,000+ a year and took months to implement. That didn’t sit right with me. Finance teams at $5 million nonprofits and $30 million businesses need the same budgeting tools as Fortune 500 companies. They just can’t afford the Fortune 500 price tag.

So I built Budgyt. Database-backed, not built on top of Excel, so formulas can never break. Priced so that any finance team can afford it, and access it. And designed so your department heads and program directors can use it without an accounting degree.

800+

customers prove it works

12+

4,000+

Your Team Already Wants This (They Just Don’t Know It Yet)

You don’t need to worry about team adoption. With 4,000+ active users across hundreds of companies, your department heads aren’t the first to make this switch successfully.

They’re the ones hunting through your hidden worksheets. They’re the ones terrified of breaking your formulas. They’re the ones emailing spreadsheets around and losing track of versions.

Budgyt solves their problems too:

  • No more “Did I break something?” panic
  • No more Excel archaeology to find numbers
  • Direct input without touching your master budget

Plus, onboarding is stupid-fast. Our API maps your Budgyt database to your accounting database in seconds, not the months of Excel report building you’re dreading.

Your biggest risk isn’t that they won’t adopt it. It’s that they’ll ask why you waited so long.
