Budget Maestro has saved us a lot of time for me. When I do a forecast compared to Excel, Budget Maestro probably has saved me 2 — 3 days in putting our numbers together.

There’s a lot of power packed into this system. It’s not surprising that Budget Maestro stands out because of all the different tools and features it has. I would say, what made it really unique to us, and what I like most about the software, is that it has the ability to create a balance sheet and a cash flow.

The ability to use Budget Maestro to analyze and budget labor and related benefit costs has been invaluable, particularly in light of the unknowns and challenges related to the Affordable Care Act.
