We tackled a major issue in our budgeting process: re-forecasting. Previously, our system couldn’t handle this, leading to slow workarounds and multiple budgets that were hard to manage. Re-forecasting is crucial for aligning budgets with the latest data, improving decision-making, and supporting our clients’ needs.

As I was new to accounting, I conducted thorough research and collaborated with internal experts to create a visual flow of the budgeting process. During wire framing, we faced architectural limitations, but through several iterations, we developed an intuitive solution.

The new tool received positive client feedback, particularly praising the new forecasting option and sliding bar feature.
