Overview

Lead Your Life is a prominent Sydney-based NDIS provider, dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities. Established in 2018, the organisation is led by experienced professionals in the Disability sector across a range of different person-centred, service-oriented roles. 

Before implementing Budgetly, Lead Your Life experienced numerous challenges with manual, inefficient processes.

• Bottleneck inefficiencies: The time-consuming manual expense management processes created a bottleneck, as one person was solely responsible for reconciliation. This not only resulted in spending limitations but also restricted the services that could be provided.
  
  

• Business scalability: Another impact felt on the bottle neck of the Director having the only spending card was that building growth plans for the business was difficult. All businesses want to grow but without time saving, admin reducing tools in place, this creates headaches.
  
  

• Difficulty in issuing cards: The business was interested in obtaining more spending cards but opening multiple bank accounts to obtain multiple spending cards for multiple cardholders was cumbersome. The implementation of Fuel cards was attempted to try and help but then the business experienced an increase in other admin such as chasing receipts and ensuring funds were available.
  
  

• Chasing receipts and manual data entry: This is why the fuel cards were also inefficient. Tracking receipts was difficult and entering the transaction data into Xero created more admin time needed by the management team. 

Results

1. No more bottlenecks for spending!

Cards can be issued to whoever needs them with 4 clicks. Money on the cards can be topped up or reduced by the click of a button and the change is instant. We now have staff accountability for spending but also very powerful control on that spending. 

“Budgetly has been set and forget. Budgetly has enabled us to become a more sophisticated business”

Antoni Mitchell, Director

2. Scalable growth plans

Now, as we plan to grow the business, we don’t have to factor in any additional admin associated with staff purchases. The more we grow, the more efficiencies we are seeing!

“The NDIS is heavily regulated (and should be). Budgetly makes it easy to grow and stay compliant with our business expenses.”

Antoni Mitchell, Director

3. One click Xero integration

No more time wasted manually chasing receipts, manually entering data into Xero and then going through our reconciliation process. The integration into Xero is seamless.

“On average, we save two hours per day.”

Antoni Mitchell, Director

2. 10/10 support!

Every Budgetly customer has unlimited free telephone support, 1 to 1 screen share video training email support and live chat support. 

“Customer service is fantastic. Always available and happy to help in any way possible!”

Antoni Mitchell, Director
