Still tracking finances in Excel spreadsheets?

Tired of Spreadsheet Hell and Manual Financial Management?

Spending hours on spreadsheets every month? Worried about calculation errors derailing your financial planning? You're not alone. You are not alone - thousands are switching to smarter financial planning.

The Custom Excel Pain Points We Hear Every Day

"Manual setup required!"

Requires spreadsheet expertise to set up properly. Need to be an Excel wizard just to track your finances.

"Time consuming!"

Significant maintenance required every month. Hours spent updating formulas and categories.

"Error prone!"

Manual calculations can be inaccurate and costly. One wrong formula can derail your entire financial plan.

"No automation!"

Everything must be done manually. No automatic transaction import or categorisation.

"Limited insights!"

Basic analysis only. Can't get intelligent insights, scenario modeling, or retirement projections.

"No real-time data!"

Static snapshots only. Can't see your real-time financial position or track changes as they happen.
