Overview
MJ Landscapes & Maintenance is a trusted provider of landscaping and maintenance services, offering high-quality solutions to clients across various sectors. With a team of 27 employees, managing expenses efficiently was crucial to maintaining profitability and operational efficiency. However, their previous expense management process was time-consuming and lacked visibility, prompting the need for a smarter solution.
Challenges
Before implementing Budgetly, MJ Landscapes & Maintenance relied on manual data entry in Excel and other shared cards. This process presented several challenges:
- Lack of budget control with a shared credit card and multiple bank accounts, making it difficult to track spending.
- Time-consuming manual processes, including tracking expenses in Excel and reconciling transactions.
- Human error and missing receipts, leading to financial discrepancies and inefficiencies.
- No real-time visibility over spending, making it difficult to manage budgets effectively.
The Solution
"I’ve saved at least 2 hours a day just for myself—that’s a lot of time!"
MJ Landscapes & Maintenance needed an expense management solution that provided visibility, control, and efficiency. After researching different options online, they chose Budgetly for its ease of use and ability to allocate individual budgets. The integration with Xero simplified the reconciliation process, while the Bill Payments feature centralised all expenses in one place. With Budgetly, the team became more accountable for receipts, reducing human error and improving financial oversight.
