In the realm of freelancers, startups, and small businesses, managing expenses can be both time-consuming and overwhelming. This challenge inspired the creation of ExpenseMonkey, born from the firsthand experiences of our founders: Dusan, Matthieu, and Jaroslav. Each founder faced their own set of frustrations with existing expense management solutions, finding them either too complex, too expensive, or a combination of both. Their journey led to the development of ExpenseMonkey, a tool designed to be accessible, user-focused, and straightforward.

The Founders' Journey to Simplification

Dusan, as a freelancer, often found himself bogged down by the manual task of organizing receipts and generating reports for various clients—a process that was far from efficient. Matthieu, coming from a startup background, witnessed his team's struggle as they sifted through over 50 expense management solutions, only to find them lacking in usability or affordability. Jaroslav’s experience in a small consulting firm involved spending countless hours on Sundays preparing expense receipts and inputting them into extensive Excel sheets.

These shared frustrations highlighted a common need: a simple and cost-effective expense management solution tailored for the unique needs of freelancers, small businesses, and teams.
