Payroll Budgeting “An Accountant’s Dream” in Budget Maestro

The Brattleboro Retreat is a regional mental health and addictions treatment center in Brattleboro, Vermont. As with many not-for-profits, payroll and personnel costs represent the lion’s share of The Brattleboro Retreat’s total expenses. Budgeting for 500 employees that work full-time and part-time, salaried and per diem, five or seven days a week, was too complicated to manage effectively in multiple Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

They determined that they required a cost-effective solution that supported revenue planning, operating expense budgeting, and the generation of financial statements and management reports; and that ideally integrated with Microsoft Dynamics GP.
