Hi Valdrin Sermaxhaj ,

Great question! Yes, in Sage 50 Canada, it is possible to create a budget for the coming year using actuals—without having to key everything in manually.

Here’s how you can approach it:

 Start with last year's actuals: Export or reference actual financial data from the prior year. This is a common method to establish a baseline for budgeting, especially when using a historical approach.

 Use the budget import feature: You can import or update account-level budgets using a spreadsheet, which makes things much easier than entering them one by one:

 Choose your budget type: Whether you’re budgeting by account or by project, it’s important to understand how each option affects reporting:

 When ready, you can print your totals too:

Let us know how it goes. If this helps, please mark it as verified :)

Best regards,
