# Budget Vendor Spend Coordinator

**Folder:** Finance / Budget Manager / Vendor Coordination Assistant

## What does it do?

A large share of budget flows to vendors, and uncoordinated renewals, auto-escalations, and over-commitments quietly blow the budget.

This agent tracks vendor spend against budget: renewals and their timing, committed vs. actual, and overage risk, flagging what to renegotiate or cut — so vendor costs stay within plan.

## Benefits

- Vendor spend tracked against budget.
- Renewals and escalations flagged early.
- Committed vs. actual monitored.
- Renegotiation opportunities surfaced.
- Vendor costs kept in plan.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — ERP/GL and Sheets for spend, Drive for contracts, Calendar/Gmail for renewals.
• Skill — a vendor-spend skill with renewal and overage tracking.
