What Finance Teams Build With GoodTaco

  • A Budget Dashboard That Updates Itself - Generate a real-time budget dashboard directly from your spreadsheet, complete with live charts, automatic category breakdowns, and flexible weekly or monthly views that completely eliminate pivot table headaches.
  • A Business Expense Tracker With Built-In Approvals - Give your team a simple expense tracker app that writes straight to your sheet, and route larger requests through an invoice approval workflow before they post.
  • Income & Financial Reporting - Build the financial reporting tool or monthly rollup your team needs directly from the sheet you already maintain and update it yourselves as line items change.
  • Audit-Ready Recordkeeping - Maintain a transparent, role-managed history of all entries, approvals, and modifications to your financial records. It's invaluable for answering audit inquiries or settling discrepancies.
How it works

How It Works

  1. 1

    Connect Your Sheet

    Securely select the expense sheet, budget tracker, or financial workbook your team already uses. GoodTaco reads the columns and structure automatically.

  2. 2

    Describe What You Need

    Tell GoodTaco what your team should be able to do: log expenses, view a budget dashboard, or route approvals.

  3. 3

    Share With Your Team

    Publish the app and control who can view reports versus who can enter or approve data. Your data stays in Sheets.

Why Finance Teams Choose GoodTaco Over an Expense Tracker Spreadsheet

  • Keep the Spreadsheet, Lose the Friction - Replace a brittle, error-prone expense tracker spreadsheet with a real financial tool without abandoning the sheet your team already trusts as the record.
  • No Developer Required - Finance tracking shouldn't require an engineering ticket. Your team builds the expense tracker, budget dashboard, or income report it needs and updates it directly.
  • Controlled Access & Audit Trail - With role-based access control and integrated authentication, you can easily manage permissions for viewing reports and managing or approving data. For instance, you could configure the system so that only department heads can authorize expense reports that exceed a specific dollar amount.
  • Scales With Your Reporting Needs - From a single department budget to company-wide financial reporting, the same app keeps working without a rebuild. Explore more on the Features page.

Common questions

Project budget tracking software questions answered

Do I need a developer to build this?
No. GoodTaco is built for non-technical finance teams. Describe what you need in plain language, and it builds the app from your existing spreadsheet.
What happens to our expense sheet or budget tracker?
It stays exactly where it is. GoodTaco reads from and writes back to it, so your spreadsheet remains the source of truth your team already trusts.
Can we control who edits financial data versus who just views reports?
Yes. Every app ships with built-in authentication and role-based access, so you decide exactly who can view, enter, or approve data.
How is this different from just sharing the expense tracker spreadsheet?
A shared spreadsheet works until more than one person needs to enter or approve data at once - rows get overwritten, formulas break, and there's no real approval step. GoodTaco keeps the spreadsheet as your source of truth but adds structured entry forms, an approval workflow, and permissions on top of it.
We looked at approval workflow software before and it felt like overkill for our size. Is this different?
Most approval workflow software is built for large finance departments with dedicated admins. GoodTaco builds a lighter-weight version directly from the spreadsheet your team already has - an expense entry form and an approval step, without a platform migration or a new system to administer.
Is this secure enough for financial data?
GoodTaco provides built-in authentication, role-based access, and audit logging. GoodTaco's SOC 2 audit is in progress. Your team should still review the specific data, roles, and configuration before deployment.
Will this replace our accounting software?
No. GoodTaco is built for internal financial tracking and reporting (budgets, expenses, approvals) not as a replacement for your accounting system of record.
