I built a monthly expense tracker to organize and monitor spending across different categories — recording transactions, categorizing expenses, and calculating totals so it's easy to see where money is going each month. It also flags overspending and helps compare actual spending against a budget.

I like this kind of work because it turns messy numbers into something clear and useful — the kind of system that actually helps someone make better decisions with their money.

A couple of quick notes:

If this was built in Google Sheets/Excel, worth mentioning the tool by name since clients often search by tool skill

If it's a personal/practice project rather than for an actual client, keep it labeled as Personal Project to stay consistent with your other samples
