Managing a part of the budget doesn’t mean you should have to chase spreadsheets, wait on Finance, or guess where things stand. Whether you lead a department or manage a key program, you need a clear, easy way to stay on top of your numbers and adjust plans when things change.
Cube gives budget owners the tools to track spending, make updates, and stay aligned with Finance without the back-and-forth.
Why budget owners use Cube
Managing a budget is just one part of your job. Cube helps you handle it with confidence and clarity, without needing a finance degree.
With Cube, you can:
- View your current spend vs. budget in real time in reports and dashboards.
- Input forecast updates as plans change.
- Complete assigned tasks or manage processes with workflows.
- Add context to changes so Finance isn’t left guessing.
Cube brings more control, less confusion, and better alignment with Finance.
Stay on top of spend
It shouldn’t take three spreadsheets and an email chain to find out how your team is pacing. Cube connects to your actuals data and presents it in a live, filterable dashboard or report that’s easy to explore by vendor, category, project, or however your budget is structured.
Ask Cube's AI Analyst questions in Teams or Slack to get fast answers about your data, and you always know how your budget is pacing against forecasts or actuals.
You can log in anytime to see where you stand, drill into variances with our Smart Variance Analysis, or prepare for your next review. And because Cube pulls data directly from your source systems, you’re never working off stale numbers.
Update plans without the wait
Plans change–vendors shift timelines, headcount gets delayed, or priorities get reshuffled–and when they do, Cube lets you make updates directly to your department’s plans, with space to add notes like “vendor pushed to Q3” or “hiring delayed.” Learn more about publishing additional context with attributes.
Cube’s workflow and task management tools help teams stay on top of updates and complete budget processes together. This way, everyone always has the full picture—no version issues, no lost emails, no confusion.
Build budgets with precision
Creating a bottom-up budget doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Cube helps you build detailed plans for headcount, vendor spending, software, and more, all within a centralized platform. Save budgets as reports for stakeholders to interact with in their Workspace and always have access to fresh data.
You can collaborate with your team to collect inputs, reference historical spend, and keep everything aligned with Finance’s model. Use workflows to assign tasks to team members so they have the directions and resources they need at their fingertips. That means fewer surprises and more confidence in your plan.
Cube helps budget owners take control of their numbers—so you can manage with accuracy, not guesswork.
