Budget negotiations shouldn't feel like this

Research coordinators spend hours every week on budget tasks that should take minutes. We built TrialLedger to fix that.

📊

Excel chaos

Version-controlled spreadsheets emailed back and forth with no audit trail, broken formulas, and formatting that breaks on every share.

🔄

Sponsor rate conflicts

CROs send their own budget grids. Reconciling their rates against your site's costs means rebuilding from scratch every time.

✍️

Justification from scratch

Every negotiation requires a narrative letter. Writing one that's professional, accurate, and persuasive takes time you don't have.

👥

No team visibility

When a PI or another coordinator needs to review a budget, you're emailing files. There's no shared workspace, no roles, no history.

Everything a research site needs

Purpose-built for coordinators — not generic project management dressed up in medical language.

🤖

AI Sponsor Import

Upload a sponsor's budget PDF, Excel, or Word file. TrialLedger extracts procedures, visits, and rates in seconds — no manual entry.
