About the project

The Digital Broccoli website is a project of the popular blogger Mili Kotlyarova. It is designed for beginner freelancers and offers courses, webinars, helpful articles. As a new tool for site users, we have developed a service for accounting for freelancers' finances.

The specifics of freelancing is such that income is inconsistent and comes from different services, clients and projects. Therefore, Milya Kotlyarova developed her own Google spreadsheet, inside which she built the appropriate process logic. Based on this table, our task was to develop a web service that would be easy to use and accessible from any device.

Functionality

Going to the address https://broccoli.tools/ we get to a «stub» with a list of the benefits of the service and a login button.

Broccoli.Tools offers a simple registration followed by a short guide explaining how the service works and its main pages:

After scrolling through the instructions, we get to the transaction page. It is the main page of the service and consists of three blocks:

  1. The amount of income for the specified period. On the green line above you can see the amount of income for the week, month, quarter or six months.
  2. Feed of expenses and incomes. Records can be sorted by date and filtered by type (income/expense/all). Each of them, despite the concise interface, contains maximum information about the operation: date, amount, project name, groups and categories of expenses. In order for the user to quickly navigate the types of transactions, expenses are highlighted in red, and incomes in green.
  3. Adding a new transaction. In order not to overload the interface with elements, this block is translucent until the cursor is hovered over it. It allows you to enter a transaction with all of the above information.

Taking a look at the top menu, we will see three sections for analyzing the current financial situation:

  • Income reports. They allow you to visualise which services and in which month brought the most money. Under the summary table of income for the year there are two blocks that will help you evaluate which services are most profitable to provide and to which customers.

  • Expense reports. Here you can see which item of expenditure is the most significant. For a more detailed analysis, you can add both expense groups and categories. For example, the group «Household expenses» and the category «Products».

  • Account balances. In this section, you can evaluate how much money is on each of the accounts, on all of them in total, and how much you managed to save during this month.

The last section «Settings» is intended for specifying the list of services, customers and accounts. You can also add expense groups and categories for them here.

Adaptivity

For a financial accounting service, it is vital to have a mobile version in order to promptly make transactions immediately after spending. For most users, this may be the main criterion for choosing such a service. Therefore, we have adapted the service for use on computers, tablets and phones. On small screens, the interface completely changes, taking the form of a mobile application.

Summary

Together with Milya Kotlyarova, we developed and launched a service for freelancers' finance accounting. It is both simple and flexible to set up, allowing you to consider revenues from different projects and evaluate which services and clients bring in the most money.
