Monthly accounting and the new finance dashboard

Today was my monthly accounting day for October transactions.

I recently built a small dashboard to track all finances across our projects, something I should’ve done much earlier. I’ll share more details about this dashboard later, but even now, seeing everything in one place already makes a huge difference.

It’s one of those things that instantly makes you wonder why you didn’t start sooner, even though we’ve technically been doing monthly accounting anyway, just not separately for each project.

Having the full picture is eye-opening. One of our projects is still covering all expenses for other projects too, which obviously isn’t sustainable long-term. But this overview gives us the clarity we need to make smarter keep or kill decisions down the road.

This month’s snapshot

Most of our resources this month went into launching Temettü Pro.
With the current market situation in Turkey, things have slowed down quite a bit. We’re basically waiting for the dividend season (February–March) to ramp up efforts again and adjust our focus there.

We also decided to reinvest a bit more in the Mockup Generator, focusing on creating new mockup collections. Hopefully, expenses will start to ease in the coming months but for now, we’re closing this one slightly in the red. Still, it feels good knowing these costs are reinvestments toward future growth rather than losses.

Reflection

It feels grounding to have everything visible again.
Even if the numbers aren’t where we want them yet, clarity brings calm and that’s exactly what’s needed to move forward smarter, both next month and for the overall portfolio decisions.
