Budget Tracking Software
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 10:55 am
I'm in charge of the IT budget where I work, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for budget tracking software. Kind of like project tracking software except for budgets.
Right now I'm using spreadsheets to keep track of expenses, each month is a worksheet and the worksheets are grouped per quarter by color, and that's getting cumbersome.
I'm not looking for anything complex. I need to get away from managing the spreadsheets rather then managing the budget. I'd like to be able to set up recurring expenses, monthly and annually, and keep a history of budget revisions. Kind of like a task list/calendar thing that deals with money.
The options I'm look at right now are as follows:
1) Create a database in Access or LibreOffice Base.
2) Install a web application on the IT webserver.
3) Write a web application.
4) Something else I haven't thought of.
What are your thoughts?
