Treasurer operating system.

As Treasurer of an ~80-member organization, I built a multi-sheet Excel system that turned scattered spending into one live budget dashboard — so leadership could see where the money was going before the semester was already over.

Problem

  • Spending was fragmented across officers, committees, food, utilities, and fines.
  • Leadership had little visibility into spending pace, variance, or semester-end risk.
  • Decisions were made reactively, not from one current source of truth.

Solution

  • Built a multi-sheet Excel system feeding officer, committee, food, fine, and utility inputs into one master dashboard.
  • Standardized every entry by amount, category, description, and date.
  • Added weekly pace, budget-remaining, projection, and variance tracking at quarter, half, three-quarter, and end-of-semester checkpoints.

Outcome

  • Real-time visibility across roughly $650K/year in operations.
  • Reduced chapter debt by ~52% through improved tracking and an alumni-driven repayment strategy.
  • Cut budget forecasting variance by ~75% with a standardized process.

The system

Five inputs, one master view

System structure. Separate officer, committee, fines, chef, and utility sheets feed into one master expense sheet, compared against the planned budget for variance tracking — so leadership checks one place instead of five.
