Live Budget Tracking

Your event's financial position, updated in real time.

Eventwise gives you three numbers that matter: your Fixed (start-of-year plan), your Budget (where you expect to land), and your Actual (everything invoiced, sold, and committed). Every department, every subcategory — visible at a glance.

  • Fixed, Budget, and Actual columns across every revenue stream and cost department
  • Subcategories for granular tracking — digital ads, photography, artist fees, and more
  • Revenue view shows what's been invoiced and what's outstanding at all times
  • Purchase orders flow directly into actuals — no manual reconciliation
  • Xero integration syncs paid and outstanding amounts automatically

Budget in Detail

Every line item, every department — in one place.

Dig into the full structure of your event budget. Revenue streams, cost departments, subcategories, and individual budget entries all sit in a single view. Permissions mean each team only sees what they need to see — marketing sees marketing, artists see artists.

  • Expand all budget items across a department with one click
  • Sidebar shows every file, comment, purchase order, and change log per line item
  • Budget entries link directly to purchase orders — request approval from within the entry
  • Track status: draft, awaiting approval, approved — across everything
  • Department-level permissions for your whole team

"Your marketing manager will only be able to see this department — files, purchase orders, comments, and the full audit trail."

Scenario Planning

What if you added a stage? What if tickets aren't selling?

Scenarios let you map out alternative versions of your budget months in advance — without touching your live numbers. Change ticket prices, adjust allocations, add a headliner, or model a slow sales period. Compare any scenario directly against your actual spend.

  • Create unlimited named scenarios alongside your live budget
  • Adjust ticket prices and allocations per scenario independently
  • Add or change cost items — e.g. book another headliner — and see the financial impact immediately
  • Scenario dashboard shows all variants side-by-side in one view
  • Compare scenarios against Budget vs Actual to see real-world impact

Scenarios never affect your live budget until you choose to apply them.
Approvals

Complete spend control — across budgets and purchase orders.

Eventwise has a full approvals system for budget entries, purchase orders, and payment runs. Set up approval matrices by user, amount threshold, event, department, and subcategory. Your team handles approvals — your accounts team doesn't need to get involved.

  • Separate approval matrices for budget entries, purchase orders, and payment runs
  • Set approval thresholds — users approve up to a limit, and get notified above it
  • Assign approval rights per event, department, and subcategory
  • Request and approve directly from the budget entry or purchase order in one click
  • Organisation-wide view: filter all pending approvals across every event at once

"It completely negates the need for an accounts team to come in and do your purchase orders for you."

Purchase Orders

Every supplier commitment — tracked, approved, and sent.

Purchase orders are built directly into your budget. Your operations team creates them against the relevant budget line, requests approval, and sends them out — all without touching the accounts team. Every PO is visible across the whole organisation, searchable by department, supplier, or status.

  • Create purchase orders from within any budget line item — stays linked to the right department and subcategory
  • Attach extra info, delivery addresses, and terms & conditions to each PO
  • Request approval through the matrix, then send by email or download PDF — no accounts team needed
  • See Budget, Actual, Remaining, Variance, Invoiced, and Outstanding for every PO
  • Organisation-level PO dashboard: search across all events, all departments, all statuses

Ticket Tracking

Know exactly where you are against sell-out, break-even, and cost cover.

Ticket pricing and allocation goes into your budget once — Eventwise then does the work. APIs pull sales automatically from all major ticketing platforms every three hours. Three live targets update daily so your marketing team always knows what they're working toward.

  • Ticket APIs with Skiddle, cTickets, Ticketmaster, Ticket Web, Ticketweb, and Eventbrite — auto-updates every 3 hours
  • Manual bulk entry available alongside API feeds
  • Stretch target: the straight-line path to sell-out from today — recalculates daily
  • Break-even target: calculated directly from your budget, updated as it changes
  • Cost cover target: the minimum sales needed to cover all committed costs
  • Variance dashboard shows current sales against all three targets in one place

Sales Invoices

Your team sends invoices. Xero reconciles them automatically.

The revenue dashboard shows total revenue created, total held with ticketers, and total outstanding — at event level. Your team creates and sends sales invoices directly from Eventwise, with custom payment terms. As soon as Xero reconciles payment, it flows back automatically.

  • Revenue dashboard cards: total created, total event revenue, held with sellers, outstanding
  • Revenue stream breakdown — merch, tickets, sponsorship, and any custom stream
  • Create invoices directly from the platform with custom payment terms
  • Send by email from Eventwise — no need to go into Xero separately
  • Xero reconciliation syncs paid status back automatically — zero manual chasing

Reporting Suite

Every report you need — from accruals to cross-event P&L.

Eventwise has a deep reporting suite built for real events finance. Within each event you get live budget vs actuals. Across all your events you get historical P&L comparisons, accruals reports, group tag analysis, and customised reports built in around two weeks on request.

  • Budget vs Actual report — live feed from Xero, showing invoiced and outstanding per cost and revenue line
  • Budgeted but not committed report — great for accruals and spotting uncommitted spend
  • Committed but not invoiced report — so you're never surprised by incoming invoices
  • Historical event report — see what changed, when, and why across a full event lifecycle
  • Multi-event P&L comparison — compare subcategories across events side-by-side
  • Group tag reports — filter by outdoor, music, regional, or any custom tag you define
  • Accruals report across all events — pulled together automatically from PO and budget data
  • Download any report as PDF
Multi-Event Intelligence

All your events. One platform. Decisions backed by real data.

If you run 10, 100, or 400+ events a year — Eventwise is where it all comes together. The multi-event dashboard lets you slice, group, and compare events by venue, city, date, genre, region, and project manager. Spot which events are driving the best margin and use that to plan next year.

  • Multi-event dashboard: filter by venue, city, date range, event type, and more
  • Group any selection of events and see combined totals — tickets sold, budget, revenue, cost, profit
  • Bring in actuals alongside budget to compare performance vs plan
  • Group tags: music, food, sports, culture, south-west, north-west — any taxonomy you need
  • Assign project managers to events and rank by gross margin
  • Replace spreadsheets as the place where all event data lives — and make better decisions with it

Closing an Event

95% closed within 4–5 days of show day.

Because everything is purchase ordered before you get on site — and because Eventwise tracks what's budgeted-not-committed and what's committed-not-invoiced — you always know where you'll end up. Closing the books is fast because the numbers are already there.

  • Budget vs Actual report shows revenue and cost position the moment the event ends
  • "Budgeted not committed" report flags anything that was planned but not purchase ordered
  • "Committed not invoiced" report captures every supplier invoice still to arrive
  • Outstanding revenue and outstanding costs visible at a glance — no manual chasing of data
  • Reduces event close from weeks of spreadsheet work to a few days

"We can get to 95% of the final P&L within four or five days post-show — because we always know where we are."
