See Each Project’s Costs Separately
When several jobs run at once, materials, travel and outside-service costs can disappear into the company’s total spending. I build custom apps that connect the expenses in your Excel and Google Sheets files to the projects they belong to, giving you a clearer view of the cost of each job.
Separate direct expenses from shared costs
Materials bought for an installation belong directly to that project. A vehicle or equipment cost shared by several jobs needs an allocation rule. We record the amount, supporting document and project together, and show how shared costs were split. A project lead can review their work while management compares projects within a selected period.
Build the budget comparison from real entries
A project record, expense form and category totals provide a focused first version that your team can try quickly. Planned and actual spending use the same category definitions. If an expense later moves to another project, its earlier assignment remains traceable. We can export period summaries to your existing spreadsheet format and add document review or approvals as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can one expense be divided between projects?
Yes. We can allocate it by percentage or fixed amounts, check that the allocations equal the original cost, and record the reason for the split.
Can the app show project profit?
If revenue is available and the cost scope is agreed, we can add that summary. Defining the included costs first helps avoid presenting an incomplete margin as profit.

How do I work?
Work-hour packages
Tell me about your website and what you need on WhatsApp or by phone; we agree on a work block of somewhere between 5 and 40 hours and I start doing what is needed. What you get is not a calendar window — it is net working hours spent directly on your business. I can use 40 hours working three days straight, or deliberately spread it out and finish it over a year — whatever the work calls for. I do not spend my time estimating how long something will take, I spend it doing the work; every hour I spend has a lasting result on your site. We keep going for as long as you find it useful.
Why not monthly?
Is 40 hours a week?
On a fixed monthly fee both sides are watching the wrong thing: you watch a fixed cost, the other side watches how many more contracts like this they can line up. Working by the hour puts us both in front of the same thing — the real value of the work that got done. I know not having an upfront answer to "how much will this cost in total?" is the natural cost of this model. But instead of paying a fixed fee for months to a setup that is not producing results, you only pay for the qualified time spent on your work — and you see exactly where that time went, start to finish. That is why my clients keep coming back.
