Budgeting and financial forecasting software is either designed for personal or organization/business uses.
While personal budgeting software is intended to help individuals or families better manage their monthly finances and takes into account things like savings and investment, business-based financial management software is designed to take into consideration data to not only provide a current financial picture but also aid in forecasting and planning.
Business software can look at current expenditures and then estimate possible future spending and identify potential budget issues.
Along with the ability to have a stronger financial future, businesses rely on financial management and forecasting software as a way to avoid the problems that can come with human error and also as a way to manage a large amount of data and incorporate that data into the budgeting process.
