1 Understand your goals and constraints

Before you start creating or updating your budget, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and what limitations you have to work with. For example, you may have to align your budget with the strategic objectives of your organization, follow certain policies or regulations, or meet certain deadlines or milestones. You also need to know how much money and resources you have available, and how they are allocated and tracked. This will help you set realistic and measurable goals, prioritize your spending, and avoid overspending or underspending.

Teniendo claro que los presupuestos van alineados con los objetivos estratégicos de la organización y que deben estar enmarcados en las políticas internas, cumplir parámetros y criterios previamente establecidos, se inicia el análisis presupuestario. Para elaborar un presupuesto que nos permita ahorrar debemos analizar el comportamiento del presupuesto de los a?os anteriores, un análisis exhaustivo de los ingresos asignados y los gastos realizados permite identificar los gastos necesarios e innecesarios, partiendo de este análisis se construye un presupuesto ajustado a las necesidades reales de la organización, importante incluir en el presupuesto proyecto de mejoras, éstas consideran un ahorro en el futuro.

Agreed. You have already summarized it, and emphasis on the need to understand the budget's goal cannot be overemphasized. Shalom

2 Use office software tools

One of the most important skills for managing budgets and resources is to use office software tools effectively. These tools can help you create, edit, and share your budget documents, as well as perform calculations, analysis, and reporting. For example, you can use spreadsheet software like Excel or Google Sheets to organize your data, create formulas, charts, and tables, and apply filters, sorting, and conditional formatting. You can also use word processing software like Word or Google Docs to write proposals, memos, and reports, and use presentation software like PowerPoint or Google Slides to communicate your budget to your stakeholders.

Los softwares son muy útiles para administrar presupuestos; implementar y/o capacitar a los colaboradores para su uso es imprescindible. En esta era de IA lograr que la automatización elimine procesos realizados en papel, acelere la preparación de documentos, agilice la atención del cliente interno y externo; y lograr reducir errores manuales, es un ahorro de tiempo y dinero, que permite alcanzar objetivos más rápido.

3 Monitor and adjust your budget

Once you have your budget in place, you need to monitor it regularly and make adjustments as needed. This means you need to track your actual income and expenses, compare them with your planned budget, and identify any variances or discrepancies. You also need to review your budget performance, evaluate your results, and report your findings to your manager or client. If you find any issues or opportunities, you need to update your budget accordingly, and communicate the changes to your team and stakeholders. This will help you stay on track, optimize your spending, and improve your outcomes.

El control presupuestario debe realizarse en forma frecuente, en las actividades diarias el analista de presupuesto debe asignar un periodo de tiempo para efectuar este análisis, revisar el comportamiento del presupuesto de forma mensual, supone un gasto, porque si se está desviando el presupuesto no se puede esperar a un informe mensual o trimestral para efectuar los correctivos necesarios, el presupuesto se controla a diario y se envían los correctivos de forma semanal a la línea supervisora. Con respecto a los ajustes deben realizarse de forma oportuna, para evitar déficit o superávit en el futuro.

4 Negotiate and collaborate with others

Another key skill for managing budgets and resources is to negotiate and collaborate with others. This means you need to communicate effectively with your team, manager, client, vendors, and other parties involved in your budget process. You need to explain your budget goals, assumptions, and constraints, and listen to their feedback, concerns, and suggestions. You also need to negotiate for the best deals, discounts, or terms, and resolve any conflicts or disputes. By building rapport and trust with others, you can foster cooperation, collaboration, and support for your budget.

El informe semanal de la ejecución presupuestaria debe llegar a todos los involucrados, si no hay conocimiento de lo que está ocurriendo con el presupuesto no existirán mejoras, notificar el comportamiento del presupuesto y solicitar una retroalimentación al respecto asegura que el presupuesto se ejecute de forma correcta. El seguimiento a la ejecución determina el éxito del presupuesto al final del periodo.

5 Seek feedback and learn from others

Finally, you can improve your budget and resource management skills by seeking feedback and learning from others. This means you need to ask for constructive criticism, advice, or guidance from your manager, mentor, or peers, and use it to improve your budget process, documents, or presentation. You also need to learn from your own experience, as well as from the best practices, examples, or courses of other administrative assistants or budget managers. By seeking feedback and learning from others, you can enhance your knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing budgets and resources.
