About FTE Tree

Position control should be usable by every team that depends on it.

FTE Tree helps HR, finance, and department leaders manage funded positions, openings, approvals, costs, reporting, and budgeting from one shared staffing plan.

The problem we saw

Three teams, one position, and conflicting records.

Organizations lose time and money when HR, finance, and managers each keep position records in separate systems.

Openings and vacancies disappear when records drift across tools. Approval chains hide in email threads, and forecasts drift from reality. Even one simple question can take a week to answer, and the answer can change before it is ready: How many funded positions do we have and what will they cost next quarter, next year, or in the next budget cycle?

A position records approved funding, FTE, base pay, and department information. Keep those details together so staffing, budget, approval, and reporting decisions use the same information.

FTE Tree exists because that work should not be hard. Give everyone the position information they need, apply your organization’s review rules, and build long-range workforce plans from current information instead of scattered spreadsheets.

The team

Built by finance and operations professionals.

We come from finance and operations teams where position decisions impact payroll, budgets, long-range forecasts, and growth plans. We know the pressure of monthly close timelines, forecasting cycles, budget planning, and staffing changes landing at once.

That experience drives our approach: practical controls, clearly assigned responsibilities, and tools that fit the way finance, HR, and department teams already make staffing decisions.

What we believe

Three principles, applied to every screen.

01

Clarity over features

Every screen is built for fast decisions. A manager should submit a position request in one pass, and finance should see cost, forecast, and budget details from the same approved positions.

02

Reviews that match your organization

Set the review stages, approval limits, backup reviewers, and reminders that match how your organization makes staffing decisions.

03

Priced by positions, not people

Position control should be affordable to use across teams. We charge per position, not per user, so everyone who needs staffing information can sign in and see it.
