Our Financial Journey

Since 2018, we have been transforming budget management in Canada, creating solutions that simplify the financial lives of thousands of people

2018

Foundation and First Steps

Arionelqyst was born from a real need identified in the Canadian market. Three economist friends, tired of seeing families and small businesses struggle with disorganized spreadsheets and complex systems, decided to create something different. In September 2018, in a small office in Toronto, we began developing what would become Canada’s first truly intuitive budget consolidation platform.

Expansion and Recognition

Our organic growth surprised us. Without significant advertising investments, we reached 15,000 active users solely through recommendations. In this year, we implemented advanced predictive analytics and banking integration features, always maintaining the simplicity that defines us. The “Best FinTech Innovation” award from the Canadian Bankers Association validated years of dedicated work.

Consolidation and Maturity

Last year marked our transition to a mature and established company in the market. We reached 45,000 regular users and forged strategic partnerships with Canada’s leading financial institutions. Our team grew to 23 employees, but we always maintained the family spirit and commitment to technical excellence that brought us here.

The Future We’re Building

For 2025 and beyond, our vision is focused on fully democratizing financial management tools. We want every Canadian family to have access to financial insights previously reserved for large corporations. We are developing artificial intelligence features that don’t replace the user but empower their decisions.
