The Opportunity

Problem

Digital nomads endure bookkeeping chaos from manually categorizing complex travel and remote work expenses without automation.

Solution

Connect banks for auto-import, then split shared trip costs (Airbnbs, dinners) with roommates via links. AI suggests splits and categories based on group rules. One dashboard for personal + shared expenses with exportable ledgers.

Target Audience

Digital nomads managing frequent travel and remote work expenses

Differentiator

Group splitting tailored for nomad co-livers, with bank-direct categorization.
