Managing finances in Google Sheets?

Spreadsheets Too Manual for Real Financial Planning?

Spending hours manually updating formulas? Need intelligent insights your spreadsheet can't provide? You're not alone. You are not alone - thousands are switching to smarter financial planning.

The Google Sheets Pain Points We Hear Every Day

"Manual entry only!"

Every transaction requires manual entry. No automatic bank sync means hours of data entry every month.

"Formulas break easily!"

Complex spreadsheet formulas are fragile. One wrong entry breaks your entire tracking system.

"No automatic categorisation!"

You manually categorise every transaction. No AI to learn your patterns and automate the work.

"No investment tracking!"

Very difficult to track investments, pensions, and net worth in spreadsheets. Your wealth is invisible.

"No scenario planning!"

Can't easily model different financial futures or test "what-if" scenarios in spreadsheets.

"No intelligent guidance!"

Spreadsheets give you numbers but no insights or recommendations to improve your finances.
