About the Creator

Hi, I’m Jen — a CPA, spreadsheet nerd, and founder of Finlotus, where I help people feel more confident and in control of their money. Through Finlotus, I work with individuals and organizations to create approachable, real-life financial plans that actually fit your life (not just your bank account). My goal is always to make money management feel less overwhelming and a lot more doable. I’ve always loved building spreadsheets that aren’t just functional, but also clean, clear, and even a little bit pretty. This Budget & Cashflow Template is a blend of my love for smart, intuitive design and my years of experience helping people get their finances organized. I hope it makes tracking your money feel a little easier—and maybe even a little fun.
