Money Manager
Business finance manager software for small businesses
Invoices, payments, expenses, bills and cash flow in one place, so you know where your money is going and what next month looks like.
Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.
One place for the money side of the business
Small business owners rarely need full accounting software day to day. They need to know what came in, what is owed, what is due to be paid and whether next month looks tight.
startbuddi's Money Manager brings those together. A Finance Inbox raises what needs you, like an overdue invoice or a failed payment, and clears it when it is done. Budgets warn you at 80% of spend.
- Invoices, payment links and subscriptions.
- Expenses, recurring costs, bills and team reimbursements.
- A cash forecast with what-if scenarios.
- A profit and loss and aging reports, exportable to CSV.
It is not a general ledger, payroll or tax filing tool. Your accountant gets clean numbers as a CSV.
- Finance InboxA to-do list for your money.
- Bills and approvalsPay vendors on time, with an approval step.
- BudgetsWarnings at 80% and 100%.
- What-if forecastsTest a change before you spend.
