Budget Guardian· Money
Project budget, under control in real time.
Budget Guardian takes actually logged hours on a project and compares them to the project budget right now. Three thresholds — 80%, 100% and 120% — flag it before the estimate is blown.
What's inside Budget Guardian
5 things it does that a spreadsheet can't.
"Runs out in 12 days" or "$400 under by month end," from your actual spending pace.
Actual spend, an ideal-pace line, and the budget ceiling.
Set a spending limit for each phase, not just the whole project.
Autofill a budget from historical average, or split it proportionally across phases.
Internal cost and client payment tracked as two separate numbers, with a live profit figure between them.
Built for margins that survive the project.
Most overruns are discovered at invoicing. Budget Guardian moves that discovery to the week it happens.
