About Us

Our Mission

We know how it feels when life gets busy and money still needs watching. Our mission is to help households see where cash is really going, so you can spot waste, protect savings, and feel more in control of your money.

The BudgetBadger Story

We're a family of four with two young children. Between juggling schedules, surprise expenses, and the mental load of staying organized, it was too easy for money to disappear.

We had relied on Mint for years until it was shut down in 2024. Like a lot of people, we suddenly needed a new place to pull our finances together. We tried spreadsheets and a bunch of different apps, but nothing matched the simplicity and clarity of Mint.

Out of that season came BudgetBadger - a single source of truth we both trust, with clear visibility into spending and goals. It's automated enough to fit into your busy life, yet flexible enough to suit your personal needs.

As the founder, I have spent almost two decades in finance, helping companies like Stripe and Reddit cut spend at scale. BudgetBadger brings that same discipline to household money, without asking you to become a finance expert.

If money has ever felt impossible to solve in your household, you're not alone. We exist to give everyone a calmer, clearer way to see where money goes and keep more of it.
