Micro-business owners earning $3-5k/month need a simple, affordable way to track money in/out and understand profitability without expensive accountants or complex accounting software.
Existing solutions are either too expensive (accountant at $300-500/month) or too complex (QuickBooks with 30-min setup and finance-degree-level reports) for micro-business owners who just need basic tracking.
