Congrats! We really need a service like this for http://hiidef.com

The categories need a ton of work. It seems like you just used standard personal finance categories, much like Microsoft Money or Quicken. For instance, Income via Salary / Paycheck isn't applicable for a business. And there is no obvious category for salary on the expense side.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

indinero is SaaS, mint is a consumer lead gen company. similar yet very different companies.

Yeah, I understand that. I meant, why hasn't mint expanded to SaaS for small businesses. It's a hugely under served market and they have a product that (seemingly) easily maps. Especially since they were bought by intuit. All that being said I will likely end up using indinero. I've been waiting for this sort of functionality to show up somewhere. I think all of us business owners can agree quickbooks, excel, etc are…

Based on my initial test of inDinero, Mint/tags + python script seems like the better option. Their interface is more refined and auto-tagging is more powerful. Its not entirely clear how the inDinero product is different from Mint.

Congrats on your launch :-) I have a business that has grown from 0 to 500,000 pageviews / month in a little under 6 months. I haven't spent much money but my income is starting to be more significant. I use two separate bank accounts that are personal accounts for my ad revenue deposits, and I use personal credit cards to pay for things.

Hey Dave,

This is an interesting thought, because although you're "supposed" to have separate accounts, the reality is that many entrepreneurs never do.

For now, inDinero would only be able to show you the finances from your combined transactions -- that is, unless you had sub accounts that you used only for business transactions, in which case we can ignore your personal sub-accounts.

Will follow up via email to figure out a better solution to this. Thanks for the feedback, Dave!

I am not a lawyer, but you should consider incorporation and separating out your personal affairs from your business affairs. Not only is it easier to see what is going on, it can provide you with the other benefits of incorporation.
