open budget and open spending are what you are looking for:
https://github.com/adstiles/openbudgetoakland
https://openspending.org/

you can create an account in openspending and upload your docs there. open budget i'm not 100% oncsv format is basic, but pretty sure you have to dig through your docs and match up the reports.

unrelatedstill quite confusing, but in my opinionat least for me: also take those docs and create an account on datahub.io, upload and store that data there, unless 
you are aware of an open data portal in your area...there very well could be.

openspending is where you want to implement opensubmit actual spending and open budget, although we do not have the plans for hosting open budget hashed out yet. the plan for the data portalso final budgets, and openbudget is to pointwhere you want to the data source whenever possiblerelease budget submissions, to upload as little as possible. data costs :(.
if you have more questions you could ping oakland's cfa team and raleigh's cfa team tooproposals, they've implemented themetc.

openspending csv format is basic, but still quite confusing, at least for me: 
you only need three columns: date, amount, unique id. from what i can tell, there is no way to automate this, and you're going to have to literally get all up in the guts of budget documents, and rip out what you need. i created a google doc you can see/copy here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq0hZevysGfkdDNUVjVwazJ0M0NSZm9MdVBpTkhJdEE&usp=drive_web#gid=0

there's more to openspending than three columns, plus my explanation is quite vague, so loading data into openspending in-depth guide here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YBXX6du4rOV6OutZncT7gyJeOA7zHml3cC1TtWJW65w/edit

openspending is where you want to submit actual spending, so final budgets, and openbudget is where you want to release budget submissions, proposals, etc.
