Project Title

Business & Financial Management System (Python)

Overview

A full-featured desktop application built with Python to manage income, expenses, budgets, invoices, and financial reports through a clean and intuitive dashboard interface.

Purpose

To simplify financial tracking for individuals or small businesses by providing visual insights into income and expense patterns, budgeting, and profitability.

Key Features

- Interactive Financial Dashboard with charts and KPIs - Track Income and Expenses by category - Manage Budgets and compare planned vs. actual spending - Generate Invoices and Financial Reports - Multi-language support (English/French) - Data Backup & Restore functionality - Integrated Help section

User Interface

Modern desktop UI built with Tkinter, including navigation sidebars, tabs (Income Trends, Expense Categories, Account Balances), and visual charts using Matplotlib.

Technology Stack

- Language: Python 3.x - GUI Framework: Tkinter - Database: SQLite - Charts: Matplotlib - Data Management: Pandas - File Backup: Zipfile & OS modules

Architecture

Modular MVC-like structure: • Models for financial data (income, expenses, accounts) • Controllers for logic (calculations, validation, reporting) • Views for Tkinter GUI (forms, dashboard, charts).

Dashboard Analytics

Displays Total Income, Total Expenses, Net Profit, and Budget Status dynamically. Includes trend visualization of Monthly Income vs Expenses.

Reports

Automatically generated summaries for: • Income and Expense by category/month • Profit and loss statement • Budget variance report

Security & Backup

Data stored locally in an SQLite database with optional password protection. Backup/restore feature to prevent data loss.

Testing & Validation

Manual and unit testing performed on transaction logic, budget comparison, and chart rendering.

Challenges Overcome

- Creating dynamic Matplotlib charts within a Tkinter interface - Maintaining responsive layouts across different resolutions - Managing multi-language UI text consistency

Outcome

A reliable and user-friendly financial manager for desktop use that simplifies financial planning and improves visibility into income and expense trends.

What I Learned

GUI design principles, event-driven programming in Python, data visualization, and financial report structuring.
