+**Module:** Accounting
+
+Expense categories and budget controls map every transaction to a clear cost centre so overspending is spotted immediately.
+
+## Copy
+
+Spending gets away from businesses not through dramatic purchases but through accumulation. Small expenses in unclear categories add up before anyone notices. Budgets get exceeded not from one dramatic overrun but from dozens of small overages that nobody tracked. By the time overspending becomes visible, the damage is done—there's no money left for planned priorities, or worse, bills can't get paid.
+
+This module makes overspending visible before it becomes a problem. Expense categories ensure every dollar gets mapped to a purpose, not lost in miscellaneous buckets. Budget controls set limits for each category and surface warnings before limits get exceeded. The result is spending that stays on track because visibility exists—overspending that gets spotted immediately, not overspending that accumulates invisibly.
+
+For copywriters: Focus on the accumulation problem—how small overages compound into budget crises before they become visible. Position category mapping and controls as the mechanism that makes accumulation visible. The audience should recognize their own budget overruns and how better tracking could have prevented them.
