Subscriptions are easy to forget because the payments happen automatically.
$15 here.
$49 there.
Another $99 for software nobody remembers signing up for.
For a small business using several online tools, those recurring charges can quietly become a meaningful monthly expense.
This is one reason reviewing expense categories in QuickBooks or Xero can be useful beyond preparing financial statements.
Look at your software and subscription expenses occasionally.
Which tools are actively being used?
Which plans could be downgraded?
Are there duplicate tools doing similar jobs?
Bookkeeping can sometimes uncover expenses that have simply become invisible.

Budget vs. Actual Analysis
This project analyzes a small retail brand's Q1 2026 performance by comparing budgeted figures against actual revenue and expenses. I built a fully formula-driven Excel model — no hardcoded numbers — that automatically calculates dollar and percentage variance for each category, flags results as "Favorable" or "Unfavorable" with color-coded formatting, and rolls everything up into Total Revenue, Total Operating Expenses, and Net Operating Income. A clustered bar chart visualizes budget vs. actual side-by-side for quick executive review. The goal was to show how a business owner could spot exactly where they overspent or outperformed expectations at a glance, without digging through raw numbers.
