Build the budget, track actuals against it line by line, and keep versions straight.
Budget replaces the spreadsheet that gets emailed around. Build from a standard structure, track what you’ve actually spent against each line as the shoot runs, and keep clean versions so you always know which number you quoted and which one you’re living with.
The topsheet — actuals beside estimate, line by line, with over / under / percent-spent at a glance, and versions kept clean so you always know which number you quoted.
Working, submitted and approved copies, so the approved number never quietly changes.
Variance by line and in total — see the overrun while you can still do something about it.
Reusable fringe rates applied to the right lines automatically.
Ask questions of your budget in plain language, or draft one from a script.
AICP for commercials, the film chart of accounts for narrative, or a simple bucket budget when you just need a number. You can switch later; your lines come with you.
Set them once at the top — payroll tax, workers' comp, production markup, contingency — and every qualifying line picks them up. Flip a line's fringe off when it shouldn't apply.
Yes. Keep an internal version and a client-facing one side by side, and choose which to export.
Log them against a line as you go, or let a crew invoice land on the line it belongs to. The estimate-versus-actual meter updates as they arrive.
