Open Collective, Airtable and Xero

A combination of digital tools used to manage the financial aspects of the programme with a commitment to radical transparency and accountability. Airtable was used for displaying overall numbers and projections, linking transparent budgeting with live spend data. Open Collective was used for allocating money into specific "pots" tied to groups and for facilitating invoice submission and transaction visibility. While Xero is mentioned in your query, the sources primarily detail the use of Airtable and Open Collective for financial transparency. The goal was to align financial management with the program's relational values, despite the tools often feeling designed for traditional contexts.
