A project Financial Tracker tracks the expected project actuals compared to budget for your project. Project Financial tracking enables you to monitor how much of your budget has been spent over time, to see how much is remaining and course-correct when necessary.

For example, imagine one of your project resources took much longer than budgeted to complete a set of tasks. If you didn’t realise this until the end, it could result in the project being over budget. But, if you’re tracking your costs and notice this when it occurs, you can try to offset those extra costs somewhere else in the project.
