Money shouldn't be complicated

We started cerannovia because managing money felt needlessly complex. Spreadsheets that broke. Apps that overwhelmed. Advice that cost more than it helped.

Since launching in early 2023, we've focused on one thing — making budgeting simple enough that anyone can stick with it. Not flashy. Not revolutionary. Just practical tools that work.

Built from real frustration

Our founder spent years trying different budgeting methods. Some were too rigid. Others required constant updates. Most felt like homework rather than help.

The idea was straightforward — what if budgeting took five minutes instead of fifty? What if you could see exactly where money went without categorizing every purchase?

We're not financial advisors. We don't offer investment strategies or wealth management. We help people understand their spending so they can make better choices without the stress.

What guides our work

These aren't corporate values plastered on a wall. They're the decisions we make when building features and helping customers.

Simple by default

Every feature starts with the question: does this make budgeting easier or just different? We cut anything that adds complexity without clear benefit.

Privacy matters

Your financial data stays yours. We don't sell information to advertisers or share details with third parties. Basic principle, non-negotiable.

Honest conversations

We respond to feedback within 48 hours. Not with automated replies — actual responses from people who work on the product daily.

Realistic expectations

Budgeting won't transform your life overnight. It's a tool that helps you make informed decisions, not magic. We're upfront about what it can and can't do.

Who's behind this

Small team. No investors breathing down our necks. Just people who genuinely think managing money should be less of a headache.

Caspar Wentworth

Founder

Spent a decade working in fintech before realizing most products prioritize features over usefulness. Started cerannovia in 2023 after friends kept asking for budgeting advice and realizing the same problems kept coming up.

Where we're headed

Right now, we're focused on refining what exists rather than adding endless features. Better mobile experience. Improved reporting. Faster sync times.

Later in 2025, we're exploring shared budgets for households and small expense tracking for freelancers. But only if we can keep them simple.

If you're curious about trying cerannovia, we offer a free trial through autumn 2025. No credit card required. Just an email address and five minutes to set up your first budget.
