As a data scientist and financial analyst, I am always unsatistified with the level of optionality and customizability in pre-built budgeting softwares: so I created my own.

Getting Started

• I am running R version 3.4.1
• Run the create_database.sql file on your computer and that will create the entire database - views and tables.
• The backend for this is MySQL so it requires that you already have that installed on your local PC or server. Download it here: https://www.mysql.com/downloads/

To-Do List

• Create script using Plaid to automatically pull data and input to MySQL database
• Upload some dummy data for testing
• Build predictive modeling into the script for Purchase Volume and Margin values
  • Random Forest
  • xgBoost
  • Neural Network (RNN / LSTM)
  • Regression
  • ARIMA
• Make more of UI based interaction to update budget values
