Barry Clapp, President & CEOThe Natick, MA based, Centage’s cost-effective, easy to implement, accurate, and scalable automated software solutions are transforming the financial processes for many small to medium-sized organizations. The firm’s flagship product, Budget Maestro and its derivatives contribute to the smooth sailing of the financial activities and allow users to represent their budgets in a way that mirrors what is in their general ledger. The solution also helps users to replicate their company’s structure for future financial capacities without altering their business principles. “This would enable them to forecast the balance sheet and cash flow of their budget to reveal results as well as determine future financial prospects of the company,” said Clapp.
As opposed to the traditional process of finance and budget forecasting where most of the companies rely on formulae and tedious Excel work sheet, the Budget Maestro relies on formula-free work environment along with an easier interface to derive accurate calculations in less time.

Many organizations have deployed Budget Maestro and witnessed tremendous improvement in their financial and budgeting systems and practices. One of the firm’s recent customers, the Houston Baptist University was dealing with the challenge of segregating financial data of 70 different departments in campus and transforming to meaningful reports. The Planning and Budget Director, Financial Operations of the University approached Centage to implement the Budget Maestro and Analytics Maestro solution that not only helped them improve the overall budgeting process, but has enabled them to capitalize on the growth opportunities while gearing up for the future demands.
Centage continues its focus by improving the user interface of its solutions that can be adapted by any user and transform the conventional way of providing service to the new-age cloud based solution. Adopting cloud as their base, the firm defines flexibility across organizations and is currently set to launch the iteration of Budget Maestro and Analytics Maestro with updates and features for faster processing and bigger secure data storage. “We are constantly working to enhance our user interface, and encourage operational users across the organization. We believe it has been quite empowering to streamline the budgeting and forecasting process through our Budget Maestro for improved visibility into the financial health of our customers,” concludes Clapp.
