See burn rate, commitments, and actuals on every grant line
Finance extends the grant hub with spending dashboards and transactions — so committed procurement and actual payments stay visible before donors or auditors ask.
Spending views
Burn rate, commitments, and actuals per grant and budget line — one dashboard.
Transactions
Post financial transactions in grant context with validation against budget structure.
Audit-ready
Timestamps and actors shared with approvals — who approved spend and when.
Financial control on the grant hub
Finance does not replace grants — it monitors spend against the budget lines programme teams already maintain.
Spending dashboards
See burn rate and commitments per grant and line before donors or auditors ask.
Transactions
Record payments and adjustments linked to grant UUID records and budget lines.
Procurement linkage
PR and PO commitments roll into spending views when procurement is enabled.
Reporting exports
Support donor packs combining budget, spending, and programme evidence from one tenant.
Built on grants and budgets
Enable `grants` and `budgets` first. Finance adds transactions and spending intelligence on that structure.
- Requires `grants` + `budgets` modules
- Works with procurement and approvals on the same grant
- Tenant-scoped — no cross-organisation financial data
-
1
Structure the grant
Programme and finance agree budget lines and currency on the grant hub before transactions flow.
-
2
Capture commitments
Procurement and travel can attach to lines so committed spend appears before payment.
-
3
Post and review
Finance posts transactions; reviewers use spending views and exports for period close.
Controlled spend workflow
Finance reviewers work from the same numbers field teams and procurement use.
Budget agreed
Grant hub holds the authoritative budget structure and amendments.
Commitments visible
Approved PRs and POs show as committed before cash leaves the bank.
Actuals recorded
Transactions update actuals; variances visible per line for management response.
Connected modules
Finance makes the most sense when grants and operational spend modules are live.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from NGO programme, finance, and IT teams evaluating this module.
Which modules must be on before finance?
Finance depends on grants and budgets. Procurement and travel can attach spend to grant lines when those modules are enabled.
How does finance help auditors?
Transactions and approvals share actors and timestamps, supporting questions about who approved spend and when.
Can we monitor burn rate per grant?
Yes. Spending views show commitments and actuals against budget lines so teams see burn rate without shadow spreadsheets.
