We were tired of piecing five accounts together by hand.
Our money lived in a couple of banks, a card, an e-wallet. Every month we'd open each one and try to work out where it all actually went, by hand. And we wouldn't connect our accounts to anyone, that's our money, and our business.
So combining everything was always the chore. Smara is the fix: upload each statement and every account lands in one ledger, the whole picture in one place, without ever touching our banks.
The monthly hour
Download each statement, open a spreadsheet, key it in row by row. There goes the evening.
One typo, off for months
Miss a row or fat-finger an amount and the totals quietly stop matching. Then you're hunting for it.
Five places, no picture
Money split across a couple of banks, a card and an e-wallet, you never really see the whole.
