Benchmark Budgeting is the all-in-one financial planning platform built for finance teams across every sector — from operating budgets and labour modelling to approval workflows and financial statement reporting.
Direct integration with your financial system
A complete budgeting platform built from the ground up for the unique requirements of complex organisational financial management.
A high-performance spreadsheet-like grid for entering and reviewing period budgets. Auto-save, keyboard navigation, undo/redo, real-time totals, and inline cell editing.
Model individual positions with FTE, salary bands, oncosts (super, leave loading, payroll tax), and allowances. Changes automatically recalculate salary rows in real time.
Configurable multi-step budget approval workflows with in-app notifications. Submit, advance, reject — with a full audit trail at every step. Reusable workflow templates save time.
Generate full Income Statements, Balance Sheets, Cash Flow Statements, and Changes in Equity reports. Configurable column layouts, drill-down grouping, and Excel export.
Connect directly to your existing financial system to sync organisational structures, actuals, and transactions. Adapters for TechOne, Oracle Fusion, SAP, MYOB, Xero, Microsoft Dynamics, and more.
Distribute shared costs across cost centres using configurable allocation drivers (floor space, headcount, FTE). Amber/blue row highlighting shows allocated-in and allocated-out values.
Run multiple organisations on a single installation with completely isolated data. Each tenant gets their own database — no shared tables, no cross-contamination, no data leakage.
Create mid-year forecast budgets that blend actual YTD figures with revised future projections. One-click Sync Actuals locks closed periods and shows Adopted vs Forecast variance columns.
Describe a budget change in plain English — "increase all labour costs by 4.5% and add a new CPI escalation" — and the AI produces a structured plan for your review before applying.
Stop manually calculating salary spreadsheets. The Labour Panel lets you model every position in your organisation — with FTE, salary bands, award-based rate tables, oncosts, and allowances — and automatically writes the calculated figures back to your budget grid.
The built-in AI assistant — powered by Claude — understands your budget's structure and translates natural-language instructions into a structured, reviewable plan. No formulas, no manual row updates.
Native ETL adapters synchronise your chart of accounts, organisational hierarchy, and transaction data directly from your existing financial system — no manual exports needed.
Benchmark Budgeting is hosted on Azure in Australia East and can be configured for your organisation in a matter of days — not the months typical of enterprise ERP implementations.
Our team configures the ETL adapter for your existing ERP. Your chart of accounts and org structure sync automatically.
Set up your directorate, department, and cost centre structure. Configure budget types, approval workflows, and user roles.
Add budget managers, reviewers, and approvers with granular data scope control — restrict users to their own cost centres.
Teams begin entering budgets immediately. Approvals flow automatically, reports generate at the click of a button.
Your financial data demands the highest standards. Benchmark Budgeting is built with security at every layer — from database isolation to granular permission controls.
Every organisation has its own dedicated PostgreSQL database. There are no shared tables — a bug cannot expose one organisation's data to another.
Granular permissions at every level — from super admin down to view-only users restricted to specific cost centres or account groups.
TOTP-based multi-factor authentication. Sessions are stored server-side in PostgreSQL with configurable expiry — no sensitive data in browser cookies.
Every action is recorded with user, timestamp, and change detail. Required for government accountability and useful for diagnosing data issues.
