FundFlow V3.6
Developed by Mahre Consulting, Inc. & Everest Technologies, Inc.
A Project Fund Monitoring Tool
2Developed by Mahre Consulting, Inc. and Everest Tecnologies, Inc.
FundFlow is a real-time web-based financial
management tool that monitors forecast
estimates, workflow tracking, cost expenditures,
vendor invoices, and budget spending to
enhance project implementation success for
capital expenditure projects.
What is FundFlow?
3Developed by Mahre Consulting, Inc. and Everest Tecnologies, Inc.
Are you responsible for administering projects, or do you wind up
just managing greater numbers of increasingly complex
spreadsheets?
Are you having trouble cost segregating capital projects to take
advantage of accelerated depreciation?
Do you have an application that tracks your initial vendor/partner
budget estimates against actual invoices?
Are your existing central project financial tools easily available via
Intranet with a web interface? (No hard-to-update-and-manage
“thick clients” required)
Is FundFlow for You?
4Developed by Mahre Consulting, Inc. and Everest Tecnologies, Inc.
Are you able to immediately generate an accurate Construction In
Progress (CIP) report and capital spending forecast suitable for
your executive team / board of directors?
Do you have multiple project reports and spreadsheets that
sometimes conflict with each other?
Do you have non-budgeted, non-project-related expenses being
“thrown-in” to your projects?
Do you have timely project closure in order to start project
financial capitalization and depreciation?
Do you need FundFlow?
