Sonnet Money is a Canadian budgeting app and cash flow forecasting software designed by a Big 4 CPA, CA with over a decade of corporate finance experience. Built with the same financial principles used for multi-million dollar portfolio management, our platform helps you:
Unlike traditional personal finance apps that focus on past spending, Sonnet Money is forward-looking financial planning software that empowers you to make informed decisions about your financial future - all while maintaining complete data privacy and control.
Getting started with Sonnet Money is simple:
The whole setup process takes less than 10 minutes!
No! Sonnet Money is designed to work without requiring your banking credentials, giving you complete control over your data and enhanced security. Unlike traditional apps, we use smart business logic similar to how corporations build financial statements - but for your personal finances.
You simply input your basic data (account balances, recurring transactions, and occasional one-time expenses), and our intelligent syncing system automatically:
This app does the complex calculations for you, just like corporate financial modelling and forecast. You focus on the decisions; we handle the numbers.
Sonnet Money is currently optimized for desktop browsers. We're actively developing mobile and tablet responsive designs to ensure the full experience works seamlessly across all devices. In the meantime, you can access your account from any device's web browser. Just note that the interface is best viewed on desktop screens for now.
Mobile and tablet optimization is a top priority on our roadmap and will be released soon!
Absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption to protect your data. Since we don't store your banking credentials, there's no risk of unauthorized access to your bank accounts. All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and we follow industry best practices for security.
Our cash flow tracker shows you exactly how money moves through your accounts with forecasting as far as you want to project.
Adding transactions is quick and easy:
For recurring transactions, toggle the "Recurring" option and set the frequency.
Recurring transactions are income or expenses that repeat on a regular schedule (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). Examples include salary, rent, subscriptions, and loan payments. Once set up, these automatically appear in your cash flow projections, saving you time and ensuring accuracy.
Yes! You can add unlimited bank accounts, credit cards, and cash accounts. Each account tracks its own balance and transactions, while the dashboard gives you a consolidated view of your entire financial picture.
Sonnet Money comes with pre-defined categories like Housing, Food, Transportation, Entertainment, etc. When adding a transaction, simply select the most appropriate category. You can view spending by category in the Spending Analysis section to understand where your money goes.
The cash flow forecast projects your future account balances based on your scheduled recurring transactions and historical patterns. It helps you see potential cash crunches weeks or months in advance, allowing you to plan accordingly.
Yes, you can edit or delete any transaction. Simply find the transaction in your list, click the edit icon to modify it, or click the delete icon to remove it. Changes are reflected immediately in your cash flow and reports.
Your net worth is calculated as total assets minus total liabilities. To track it:
Include all valuable assets you own:
We recommend updating asset values monthly for the most accurate picture. Bank accounts update automatically as you add transactions. For investments and property, update values monthly or quarterly. Vehicle values can be updated annually unless there are significant changes.
To add a liability:
Net worth projection estimates your future net worth based on current trends, planned savings, expected returns, and debt payoff schedules. It helps you visualize your wealth-building progress and adjust your strategy to meet long-term goals.
Yes! You can track investment accounts and update their current values. When you update an investment account's balance, you can see how your investments contribute to your overall net worth growth over time. While the app doesn't automatically calculate real-time gains/losses or connect to brokerage accounts, it provides a clear view of how your investment values change and impact your total financial picture.
