Extremely thorough and well-researched
"Tracking Personal Finances using Python is extremely thorough and well-researched. Siddhant's love of plaintext accounting shows through in the writing. Iām a regular beancount user, and his book still taught me new techniques for tracking my finances easily."
I highly recommend it - super useful!
"A friend of mine told me about Siddhant's book while he was writing it. I was just getting into Beancount to help organize my finances, and the book was an invaluable guide. I highly recommend it - super useful!"
The book has paid for itself many times over.
"I started using Beancount in Dec last year thanks to this book. I can now safely say that the book has paid for itself many times over. If you are interested in plain text accounting but don't know where to start, this is a great place to begin."
0 to a working workflow in 1 day
"I really liked the content and was able to sift through it and go from 0 to a working workflow with 3 sources and 3 months of data in 1 day."
The chapters on writing (AND TESTING!) custom providers are really helpful.
"I've actually already finished your book, and the chapters on writing (AND TESTING!) custom providers are really helpful, so I'll be able to write my simplefin importer that I want to make."
I got a year's worth of financial transactions imported in a day thanks to the leg up this book gave me.
"This was the only resource I could find that actually walks you through how to do that and provides sample code. I've never written a python program before, but the concepts were straightforward and I got a year's worth of financial transactions imported in a day thanks to the leg up this book gave me."
