If your church operates on a fiscal calendar year, it’s time to finalize your 2015 budget. While entering a budget is not required, it is quite helpful—and Church360° Ledger makes it easy.

- Click on "Settings," then "Budgets."
- Change the date to the appropriate fiscal year.
- Select an Income or Expense account and the first month of your fiscal year. Type in your budget amount.
- Continue this process until all months have been entered.
- Once you have finished entering all information, click "Save."

**Helpful Hint: **  
 Budgets are shown in six-month increments in the total column, and the scroll bar at the bottom of the page will allow you to see the other months.<https://www.concordiatechnology.org/church360/ledger/blog/2014/12/is-your-budget-ready-for-2015#_msocom_1>
