Tiller is the only platform that automatically feeds all your daily financial transactions into Google Sheets and Excel, so you can easily manage your money with the power of a spreadsheet.
We also design innovative automated Google Sheets templates for budgeting, tracking spending, getting out of debt, growing net worth, running a business, and managing money with the greatest control.
Together we’re applying our diverse skills to making financial spreadsheets faster, easier, and more accessible for everyone.
OUR CORE VALUE
At Tiller, we believe when people have control of their finances, they have greater control of their lives. Our core value is “money matters because life matters more.”
Driven by this value, Tiller’s founding team set out to build a new type of personal finance app. The apps we had been using were either too complicated, locking our data into proprietary systems, or too simple, providing little more than a financial snapshot.
We started by interviewing people about how they managed their finances – lots of people.
A surprising and welcome discovery.
Through our interviews, we discovered that the most financially engaged people used spreadsheets to manage their money. This was especially true for younger people and those with new families.
Perhaps this discovery shouldn’t have surprised us – after all, we used spreadsheets to manage our own business and household finances.
That’s because no other tool better combines power, simplicity, collaboration, and flexibility than modern cloud-based spreadsheets.
Rather than invent a new finance app, we decided to focus on making spreadsheets even better – faster, easier, and more accessible for everyone.
