Complete Expense Reporting Project

The Expense Reporting Project is a database management system (DBMS) tool designed to streamline expense tracking, reporting, and analysis. Built with Python for logic and SQLite as the backend database, the system provides a command-line interface (CLI) along with an optional Streamlit-based GUI. It supports user authentication, role-based access (admin/user), category and payment method management, group expense sharing, and detailed reporting features. The system emphasizes modular design, scalability, and practical usability for both personal finance and small-team expense management.

The primary goal of the project is to create a self-contained, efficient, and secure expense management system that:

  • Allows users and admins to authenticate, manage accounts, and record expenses.

  • Provides comprehensive reporting features, including top expenses, monthly spending patterns, payment method analysis, and category-wise insights.

  • Supports group expense management, enabling shared costs, group reporting, and CSV-based import/export for flexibility.

  • Ensures data integrity through a structured Entity-Relationship (ER) model and SQL queries optimized for CRUD operations and reporting.

  • Delivers an intuitive experience via a CLI command structure with optional GUI for accessibility.

The Expense Reporting Project demonstrates how Python + SQL (SQLite) can be integrated into a robust financial tracking solution. With features ranging from basic expense logging to advanced reporting and group management, the project shows strong practical relevance for individuals, small businesses, and student teams. The CLI interface ensures lightweight execution, while the optional GUI makes it user-friendly for non-technical users.

Future enhancements could include:

  • Integration with external databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) for enterprise use.

  • Automated visual dashboards using Streamlit for richer insights.

  • Cloud-based deployment for multi-user access.

  • AI-powered analytics, such as expense forecasting and anomaly detection.

Overall, the project successfully demonstrates the application of DBMS principles in solving a real-world financial management problem, balancing functionality, simplicity, and extensibility.
