Managing expenses manually is like trying to catch water with a sieve — leaks are inevitable. Whether it's petty cash slips, vendor bills, or recurring costs, you need a smart system to track, record, and analyze expenses with precision.

Without proper tracking, it’s impossible to know what’s really eating into your profits.
