Centralised Financial Management
Every taka in, every taka out — in one live, auditable place.
This is where trust breaks down
Money moves in from different co-owners, at different times, through different accounts — and out to dozens of vendors, contractors, suppliers, and daily labour. Petty cash is spent on site. Through all of it, there is usually no single place where anyone can answer: how much have we collected, how much have we spent, and what is our balance right now?
The result is constant confusion and, in the worst cases, accusations of mismanagement — even when none has happened. The absence of a system doesn't just create inefficiency; it erodes trust between co-owners.
- ×No real-time view of collected vs. spent vs. current balance
- ×Expenses, labour, and petty cash tracked in separate spreadsheets
- ×No attribution of who recorded what, or for which purpose
- ×Bank reconciliation done by hand, prone to transcription errors
How CoBuild Manager fixes it
CoBuild Manager consolidates every money movement into one real-time financial dashboard: deposits, expenses, vendor payments, labour costs, petty cash, and bank balances — each categorised, timestamped, and attributed to the user who recorded it. Bank statements can be imported directly, eliminating manual entry.
Everything this pillar includes
Financial Management is delivered through a set of integrated features, not bolted-together tools.
Dashboard
A real-time summary of the project's financial position — total collected, total spent, current balance, and recent activity.
Deposits
Records every inbound payment from co-owners, categorised by type and linked to the paying member, with full history.
Add Income (Non-Member)
Records revenue that doesn't come from co-owners — bank interest, grants, resale proceeds — kept separate for clean accounting.
Expenses
Logs all outbound payments to vendors, suppliers, and contractors, with expense-type categorisation and payment status.
Purchase Requests
A pre-expense approval workflow — money is committed only after a formal review and approval.
Vendor Payments
Tracks payments to specific vendors, linked to work packages and invoices, with payment status and history.
Labor Costs
Records day-labour and site-worker payments separately from contracted vendor costs.
Petty Cash
Manages the on-site cash float — transfers in, individual expenses, and returns to the bank account.
Bank Accounts
Registers all project accounts so deposits and expenses are attributed to the correct account for reconciliation.
Bank Statement Import
Imports statements directly, matching transactions and reducing manual data-entry errors.
Direct benefits
How financial management moves the numbers that matter.
Approval before spend
Purchase requests must be approved before money is committed, stopping unplanned spending.
No manual reconciliation errors
Bank statements import and match automatically, cutting transcription mistakes.
The impact
Co-owners always know the financial position. Managers spend less time compiling reports and more time managing. "Where did the money go?" becomes answerable in seconds.
