How Marden will work.
Marden is being built for owners who want a clear picture of their spending without learning accounting. Here's what we're planning.
What we're building.
-
Planned
Quick purchase logging.
Add a purchase in a few seconds, from your phone or computer.
-
Planned
Automatic sorting.
Purchases sorted into simple categories like supplies, rent, and utilities, with smart suggestions so you're not starting from scratch.
-
Planned
Spending trends.
Simple charts that show where your money goes and how it changes month to month.
-
Planned
Plain-English insights.
Short notes like "You spent more on supplies this month than last month."
-
Planned
Tax-time summary.
A simple report you can hand to your accountant.
These features are planned and still in development. Details may change as we build.
Marden vs. full accounting software
Full accounting software is the right tool when you need complete books. Marden is meant to be the simple step before that.
| Marden (coming soon) | Full accounting software | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Owners who don't do bookkeeping | Businesses with a bookkeeper or accountant |
| What you do | Log purchases and see where the money goes | Keep full books: invoices, payroll, bank reconciliation |
| Accounting knowledge | None needed | Usually helps |
| At tax time | A simple summary to hand your accountant | Full financial statements |
Questions.
Is Marden available now?
No. Marden is still being built. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when early access opens.
How much will it cost?
We haven't set pricing yet. Joining the waitlist is free.
Do I need to know accounting?
No. Marden is being designed for owners with no accounting background.
Will Marden replace my accountant?
No. Marden is meant to help you keep track of spending during the year. Your accountant still handles your taxes, and the planned tax-time summary is designed to make that handoff easier.
I already use QuickBooks. Is Marden for me?
Probably not. If QuickBooks works for you, stick with it. Marden is for owners who don't use accounting software today.
Is the demo the real app?
No. The demo shows the idea using a few simple built-in rules. It runs in your browser, and nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
