2 As a customer for the last 6 years, I couldn’t find a full featured, easy-to-use, affordable solution. It was easier to build a new product rather than wait for the market to fix the gaps in functionality. Zubin Gidwani Founder, Dynamic Budgets

3 Budget Repository for reporting Why do you need a budgeting tool? Dyanmics GP has no suitable Budget Entry windows for your line managers to enter their own data directly. Admin only access

4 Senior financial analysts are chained to their desks and reduced to Excel copy and paste jockeys for 6 weeks Create templates Distribute Collect Track Versions Verify Fix Broken Templates Consolidate Report Rinse and repeat until Board Approval  The analyst is engulfed in physically processing ALL the budgeting worksheets  No time to analyze and critique the budget

5 Dynamic Budgets customers were looking for: An alternative to Excel based budgeting Replacement for the discontinued Microsoft Forecaster Budgeting Product A way to eliminate weeks of wasted time and effort

6 Customer Key Benefits: Close Budgets Faster Budget more accurately Free financial analysts up to analyze vs process budgets Removes bottlenecks by providing self-service tools for department managers to independently lookup their own financial details without having to rely upon finance or accounting staff.

Ability to Define Sensitive Accounts & Grant access to: Summary Totals ($150K of salary in the department), Details (Names and Dollars form the Payroll Module or Line item details) No access on sensitive accounts Support for up to 5 levels (different types) of sensitive accounts. Data access is granted by user by department with Read, Write, Approve, Sensitive Summary, Sensitive Details, and Sensitivity Level attributes. Admins vs Super Admins: For organizations who have elevated confidentiality concerns with payroll or other types of sensitive information, the primary budget administrators can just be designated as admins and more senior staff can retain super admin access to control who interacts with the payroll module, and who can assign/edit the sensitive attributes of accounts and users. Budget Locking: Can lock Budgets, Accounts, or Line Item Rows within an account
