Case Study: Breast Cancer Care achieves automated budgeting and £13,000 annual finance team time savings with Prophix Software

Supporting Better Finance at Breast Cancer Care

Breast Cancer Care, the only UK-wide charity providing care, information and support since 1973, faced a finance function constrained by spreadsheet-based budgeting and reporting. Manual data entry, version control problems and slow consolidation made producing final figures time-consuming, while personnel costs (about 50% of the budget), diverse voluntary revenue streams and regulatory requirements added complexity.

After evaluating several CPM options, Breast Cancer Care chose Prophix’s on-premise solution to automate budgeting and forecasting and enable multi-dimensional planning by cost centre, project and grant, plus fixed assets and depreciation management. The finance team can now compare budget to actuals, track run-rate and restricted grant spend, and reallocate resources more quickly—freeing time for value-added analysis and saving an estimated £13,000 annually; they also plan to expand management reporting and use Prophix DPM for grant work.
