UX design for a complex accounting app.
In early 2022, I worked on a designing the UX of an accounting app. I have zero knowledge about accounting and learned a lot throughout the process.
We need to build an accounting app that have a UX tailored for the company emplyees. There are a lot of accounting and booking apps out there, but either the app is too simple or complex.
If I feel that my knowledge in the product’s space is too little or not at all, I include a research and discovery phase in the first few weeks.
The goal of this phase is:
It was so new that I’ve to print a few documents and study in detail about the nature of the project. It was fun and challenging at the same time.
I took notes and asked question which resulted in a large Google Sheet. The team helped to answer all my questions.
After that, I worked on a wireframe for every flow in the app. Here are a few examples:
Doing the reserarch & discovery phase helped me a lot during the wireframing process. I was already thinking like an accountant.
Once that is done, we went to the UI design.
Once we settled in to a design diection, I started having components for almost everything in the UI.
From there, we moved on to the rest of the app design. For privacy reasons, I can’t show the rest of the screens, but here are some of them at a glance.
Thank you for watching. Let’s work on something together!
