People at Khatapana

I started making a budget and also keeping a note of my expenses when I started my chartered accountancy course back in 2008 because I had to show the records to my parents. Well, there was an obligation to do so but as I started earning on my own I got lazy and could not do it on a consistent basis. Who would want to keep a record of their own money right? Well I thought the same and was on the brink of quitting my law studies due to poor money management as I eventually ran out of all my savings and I could not ask my parents for more money because I had quit a well paying job after completing my CA to study law! Fast forward to 2017, when I started my law practice, my finances went haywire as I struggled to keep track of all the income and expenses using a notebook or a spreadsheet and I was not in a position to hire an accountant or even use an accounting software. Yes, and that too after being a chartered accountant myself. This was when I conceived of this idea of having a platform that can help me keep record of my personal as well as business related transactions in a handy manner. And like everyone, I looked for various available solutions, mobile application but nothing came close to what I was looking for. And in late 2021, while we were working on a different technology product, we actually thought of building Khatapana and here we are today. I have been using Khatapana to keep #paisakohisabkitab for myself and my businesses over a month now being the first test used :D, and all I can say is we have built something that we as a team are proud of and one day, we can see most, if not everyone, in Nepal using it to keep their #paisakohisabkitab ! And need I say this is just the beginning!
