FinKitty is a specialized, full-featured FinTech SaaS platform designed to be the essential cash flow management tool for modern businesses. Positioning itself as a "purr-sonal cash flow sidekick," the platform provides users with real-time visibility and proactive control over their liquid assets, ensuring they can focus on growth rather than unexpected shortages.

The platform's core technical architecture is centered around secure bank connection integration (utilizing third-party APIs like Plaid or similar open banking solutions) to automatically ingest and categorize transaction data. This real-time data forms the basis for the advanced features.

Key functionalities include detailed cash flow analysis (tracking inflows and outflows over time) and sophisticated forecasting capabilities. The most powerful feature is scenario building, which allows users to model "what-if" situations—such as delaying an invoice payment or securing a new contract—to instantly see the impact on their future cash position. Built full-stack, this project showcases expertise in secure API integration, complex financial data modeling, and developing an engaging, user-friendly interface.
