01 / The problem

Recurring administration.
A clearer working record.

Cost administration can involve repeated handling across email, documents and spreadsheets. This project focuses on that handover: how information reaches a billing register and how it can be made easier to organise and review.

The work is part of my broader interest in using small, connected workflows to improve everyday operations. Financial source material and the working records stay private.

02 / Design direction

Make the routine
easier to follow.

01

Organise the inputs

Understand the invoice and supporting-document flow before adding more automation.

02

Structure the register

Use a consistent working record so costs can be reviewed with their context.

03

Preserve review

Keep exceptions and financial decisions visible to the person responsible.

These describe the project’s direction. This public overview does not offer a live billing tool, accounting service or access to financial records.

03 / The wider lesson

Small workflows.
Useful connections.

The value is in understanding the whole process, not simply moving a file between tools. This project sits alongside Project Tenders as another way to explore practical automation: a different domain, with the same need for clear inputs, traceability and human judgement.
