Adina's skilful number-crunching helped me realise where I needed to train my marketing efforts, what I needed to cultivate, and what I needed to be mindful of as a solopreneur. Her service at a time of great uncertainty was reassuring, and it gave me a clear way forward that continues to guide my business decision-making.
I asked Adina to work on my personal budget when I transitioned from full-time employment to self-employment. As monthly income fluctuations kicked in, it became crucial to know where the money comes from and where it goes and plan for the unexpected. Adina took time to understand my goals, helped me set up a budget forecast to identify all of my financial commitments for the coming year, broken down into months. She instantly puts me at ease with her down to earth approach and sense of humour.

Finally, apps don’t teach you finance and don’t help you stay out of debt.
