“PocketSmith ticked all the boxes for our needs. It was just perfect, easy, and really intuitive. Out of the box, I was able to connect to my bank feeds, categorize my spending, and set up budgets within an hour or two. Once the basics were done, I was able to really drill down into the detail and get things fine-tuned.” Read more reviews.
