It is a Method of Budgeting where budgeting starts from “zero base”. In this budget, all expenses must be justified for each new period irrespective of if the budget is higher or lower compared to the previous period. It helps review all spend, usage, policies with the goal of eliminating unwanted spend. The end goal is to align spend to the goals of each department of the firm . We support clients to succeed in their zero based budgeting journey.
ZBB can have a significant impact on 2 areas - Cost Reduction & Operational Efficiency.
Cost Reduction can be achieved by eliminating unwanted spend in various cost buckets.
Operational efficiency can be achieved by managing the talent, process and culture of the firm.
