Budget
Hello,
Any suggestions on a budget app? I wanted to use the Every Dollar app for my landscape business. My current bank will not connect to the app. I changed banks last year so I could connect Jobber. I really don't want to change again.

I use Quickbooks for my landscaping businesses and I've found that their free budgeting tools can be super helpful. That said, I'd love to help you set up your budget though - since I do have extensive landscaping budget experience.
For 2024: I set an overall budget for each of my category groups within QB. Then, during my CEO Friday sesh, I'd review the previous month, month and year to date, to see how they stacked up against my budget. By staying focused on keeping our expenses in check, we not only met but exceeded our forecasted goals.

We also use QB and it is amazing. So easy to set up.
Thanks for the help. I will have to upgrade my quickbooks plan
I budget in QBO as well and it is great - the budget vs actuals report is such a helpful tool to track things in real time!
I use Quick Books Online as well!
