Instructions for the User

This template is designed for marketing teams of 3–10 members. Each team member must update their expense log by EOD Friday. Managers must approve expenses within 48 hours. The “Team Finance Summary” sheet shows personal spending trends—helping individuals avoid overspending and encouraging fiscal responsibility. Never enter personal expenses without selecting “Personal” in the Paid By column; doing so triggers alerts in the Dashboard and may affect bonus calculations tied to budget adherence. Use the Dashboard to monitor team-wide spend vs. goal, campaign ROI trends, and individual performance rankings.
