Expense Tracker

Learn the Basics of Managing Your Budgets and Tracking Your Project Expenses.

FlipperForce Field is now available!

How it Works

The Expense Tracker is the core accounting engine of your renovation project. It's where you log every dollar you spend — from contractor payments to material purchases — so your project financials stay current, organized, and ready for tax time.

What it does

The Expense Tracker lets you record individual expense transactions, categorize them by cost type (labor, materials, carrying costs, etc.), attach receipts, link to vendors from your Companies & Contacts, and compare spending against your Project Budget in real time.

How to use it

Navigate to the Expense Tracker from within any active project. Add a new expense by entering the date, vendor, category, amount, and payment method. Attach a receipt photo or file using the receipt upload feature or AI Receipt Analyzer. Expenses are immediately reflected in your Budget vs. Actuals comparison and Accounting Dashboard.

Why it matters

The biggest risk in house flipping isn't finding deals — it's losing track of costs while construction is underway. The Expense Tracker gives you a real-time picture of what you've spent so you can catch budget overruns early, invoice accurately, and close each project knowing exactly where every dollar went.
