The Evolution of Centage
From Budget Maestro to a New Era in FP&A
A Legacy of Innovation in Budgeting and Forecasting
For years, Budget Maestro helped finance teams move beyond spreadsheets, offering a structured approach to budgeting and forecasting. As the needs of finance professionals evolved, so did our platform. Budget Maestro became Planning Maestro, bringing greater flexibility, enhanced forecasting capabilities, and deeper insights to organizations looking for more control, accuracy, and efficiency in their financial planning.
But we knew we could do even more.
A New Name, A Bigger Vision: Welcome to Centage
Today, financial planning and analysis (FP&A) isn’t just about building a budget—it’s about collaboration, agility, and data-driven decision-making. That’s why we’ve taken everything that made Budget Maestro and Planning Maestro great and evolved into something even more powerful: Centage.
With Centage, we’ve moved beyond traditional budgeting software to provide a fully integrated FP&A platform designed to:
Streamline budgeting
Build accurate, structured budgets without the chaos of spreadsheets.
Enhance forecasting
Model “what-if” scenarios in real-time to stay ahead of change.
Improve collaboration
Give department leaders the ability to own their budgets, without sacrificing control.
Increase accuracy
Automate calculations, eliminate version control nightmares, and forecast with confidence.
Why the Change?
The name Centage reflects where we’ve been and where we’re going. It represents our commitment to providing finance teams with the clarity, confidence, and control they need to navigate today’s dynamic business environment.
Our mission is simple: To empower finance teams with the tools they need to budget, forecast, and plan smarter—without the limitations of spreadsheets or outdated legacy systems.
