Budget managers need to be focused on our strategic objectives and how they will execute tactically,” explained Amy Sim, General Accounting Manager, CenCal Health. “BudgetPak gives us a collaborative platform that everyone can easily navigate, whether they have a healthcare, customer service, or finance background.”
BudgetPak’s newest release includes customer driven enhancements to:
- Advanced Reporting: Augmenting BudgetPak’s suite of built-in, out-of-the-box reports – this new advanced reporting interface enables finance executives to quickly slice & dice data across the organizational structure any way they choose.

Simplified end-user experience quickly guides them to areas that need attention.
