Our Mission

To Give Every Finance Team Access to Professional Budgeting Software

Bulletproof Budgeting

Professional-grade budgeting software where two plus two always equals four. Database-backed, not built on top of Excel. Formulas never break. Complete audit trails so you can defend every number instantly.

Affordable on Purpose

The most affordable professional budgeting platform on the market. Most alternatives are priced for enterprise budgets or built on top of Excel, with all the formula risks that come with it. We built Budgyt so any finance team can access real budgeting tools at a price they can actually budget for.

Fast Onboarding in Days

Most budgeting platforms take months to implement and require consultants to get you started. Budgyt connects to your accounting system and has your team up and running in days. Rated Easiest to Administer on G2.

Our experience

Built by People Who Understand Budgeting Software

Real Finance Leadership Experience

Our founder experienced every Excel nightmare firsthand – the midnight worries, the boardroom anxiety, the career-threatening formula errors.

Not Theoretical Solutions

Every feature exists because we felt the pain. This isn’t software built by people who think they understand finance challenges. It’s built by people who lived them first.

Proven by 800+ Organizations

Since 2013, 800+ controllers, finance directors, and their teams have made the switch, because we solved the two problems that kept finance teams stuck in Excel: risk and cost.

Our Growth Story

13+ Years of Eliminating Excel Nightmares

2013 - The Beginning

Founded by a VP of Finance who believed two things: that professional budgeting shouldn’t cause professional anxiety, and that nobody should have to spend more on their budgeting software than their accounting software. Every other option on the market was either too risky (built on Excel) or priced for enterprise budgets. Budgyt was built to fill that gap.

The Evolution

What began as Excel relief evolved into a battle-hardened budgeting platform. Deep API integrations with several accounting platforms. Advanced collaboration features. Enterprise-grade security. Yet all while maintaining the simplicity that makes adoption a joy.

Today's Reality

Customers prove it works

The People Who’ve Been Where You Are

CEO & Founder

James McCoy

I spent 15 years in Finance & Accounting in various leadership positions, including running a part-time CFO consulting practice with over 50 clients. 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 went looking for budgeting software, every option cost $35,000+ a year and took months to implement. My logic was simple: no one is going to spend more on their budgeting software than their accounting software. It was a non-starter for any of my clients, and it was a non-starter for the company where I was VP of Finance.

I built Budgyt to fix that. 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.

Budgyt is my third technology venture, and the first in a field where I’d spent my entire career. Thirteen years and 800+ organizations later, I’m still building it.
