Expenses are the heart of Fara—they show exactly where your money goes and keep every project accountable.
An expense that is charged to a specific Project Wallet and construction stage (e.g., Foundation, Roofing).
Each expense captures what was purchased, who will be paid, and how much it costs.
All expenses roll up into your project’s reports for budget vs. actual tracking.
Accountability: Every cedi/naira is tied to a project and stage.
Clarity: Easily explain spend during audits or investor updates.
Reporting: Clean budget vs. actuals, stage burn rate, and variance insights.
Cash Control: Prevents accidental spending from the wrong wallet.
