What is inside your planner.

Every tab is visible and ready to use the moment you make your copy.

Budget and 50/30/20

Plan the month from your take-home pay and see how needs, wants and savings compare with the 50/30/20 guide.

Money Log

Every shilling in and out in one place, sorted by category, so you can see where the month really went.

SMS Inbox

Your phone can forward M-Pesa and bank transaction SMS into the planner automatically. No more typing them in.

Emergency fund

Set your target from your essential costs and track every deposit until you are covered.

Goals

A home, school fees, a business: track each goal with what to set aside every month.

Loans and net worth

See what you owe, what you own and how both move over time.

Set up in about five minutes.

The same three steps whichever form you use. The email walks you through each one.

  1. Copy your planner

    One click makes your own copy of the Fnsoko Money Planner in your Google account. Your numbers stay in your Drive.

  2. Install the money coach

    Add the Fnsoko marketplace in Claude or ChatGPT once. New Fnsoko skills and updates then arrive on their own.

  3. Say hello

    Open a new chat and type "Help me get started with my money." The coach takes it from there.

Works with the AI you already use.

Pick whichever you have. The install email has the steps for each one.

Claude desktop app

One-click install: the marketplace is already filled in.

Keep it safe. Never share passwords, PINs, M-Pesa codes, ID numbers or full account numbers with any AI. If your statement PDF is locked, unlock it yourself first. The coach will never ask for these. Fnsoko teaches money skills; it is not a licensed financial adviser.

Let the AI coach fill it in for you.

The free Fnsoko Money Coach reads your statements, sorts them into the Money Log and plans the month with you. It comes in the same email.
