Real People Behind Better Budgets

We started erdirvomearo because we got tired of watching brilliant businesses struggle with budget planning that felt more like guesswork than strategy.

How We Actually Started

Back in 2019, I was working with a Manchester-based tech startup. Great product, smart team, but their budgeting process was basically spreadsheets held together with hope and caffeine.

They'd spend weeks creating beautiful forecasts that were wrong by month two. Sound familiar? That's when I realized most businesses needed something different – not another budgeting tool, but a proper approach to financial planning that actually works in the real world.

So we built erdirvomearo around one simple idea: budgeting should help you make better decisions, not create pretty charts that nobody uses.

We Keep It Practical

Honest About Limitations

We can't predict the future, and neither can you. What we can do is build budgets that bend instead of breaking when reality hits. Because it always does, usually around quarter three.
