Top 5 Financial Apps for Entrepreneurs

Everyone has a financial plan. And it’s good to have one too, as it helps you to keep your income and expenditures on track, so that you can focus more on savings. When it comes to entrepreneurs, bookkeeping and accounting become even more important as every penny only adds more value.

However, it’s also quite easy to lose track of this financial plan when you don’t have constant figures in front of you stating where all and how exactly your money is being spent. When you are self-employed, you can lose sight of just how much money you’ve earned in a month, and end up in a fix.

However, you can turn to your smartphone to help you manage your earnings much easier, all thanks to these financial management apps. You can use them to understand how much money you make, how to save it and invest it wisely.

1. RetailMeNot
If you like to shop and save money while shopping, this app is an absolute must-have for you. The popular online coupon platform is now available in the form of an app, and gives you access to coupons, get to know about shopping deals, and save offers to use them at a later date. You can also choose to receive alerts and more deals when you are close to areas such as malls, shops etc.

2. SplashMoney
This is a comprehensive finance manager on the go, which helps you keep a record of all your investments and other savings. It will give you a consolidated idea of exactly how much money you have in all your accounts, and even alert you about any of your deposits that are about to mature.

3. Jumsoft Money
Slightly easier to use than SplashMoney, this one lets you create a budget for yourself, and also program recurring bills.

Taking convenience one-step ahead, this app keeps you aware of all your transactions from bank accounts, debit cards, credit cards etc. There is a running balance available for you to keep a track of your money, and you can even record your daily cash receipts along with accessing your ATM balance easily.

5. YNAB
YNAB or ‘You Need A Budget’ is the perfect app for an entrepreneur whose main concern is fluctuating monthly income. A budget is essential for every individual, but its significance is magnified if you are self-employed.

This app coaches you with the help of courses to manage your finances better and live debt-free. Blogs and daily posts provide real life case studies to teach you by example on how to save better, making it your ideal financial management coach.
