The Challenge

My wife and I share household expenses without sharing a bank account. For years, we spent an hour each week recording and going over expenses in an excel sheet, writing excel formula to do basic things like "spend by category".

The Solution

I built a tool that shows our expenses using apis and csv uploads from our banks - it categorises them and splits every transaction based on a 2 years of trained data.

The Result

Financial admin tasks reduced from hours to minutes.
