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 data from a single reliable source.
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, scenarios, reporting, long-term planning, and budgeting from one shared staffing plan.

The problem we saw
Three teams, one position. No one agrees on the truth.
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. A simple question—how many funded positions do we have and what will they cost next quarter, next year, or in the next budget cycle?—can still take a week and change by the time it’s answered.
A position is a funded slot with an FTE, a wage, and an owner. Track it once and downstream decisions stay reliable.
FTE Tree exists because that work should not be hard. Give every stakeholder the same view, attach the rules your organization already runs on, and long-range workforce plans can be built from current position data 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, clear ownership, and systems that support real-world workflows instead of forcing teams into abstract best practices.
What we believe
Three principles, applied to every screen.
Governance that matches reality
Your approval chain already exists. Software should trace it, not replace it with a generic workflow. We model thresholds, delegation, and escalation because you already do.
Priced like a tool, not a platform
Position control should not require a seven-figure implementation. We charge per position, not per seat, so every stakeholder who needs the truth can log in and see it.
