# About Fignis | The planning tool we wanted to use ourselves

> Learn why we started Fignis, who it is for, and what makes it easier to trust than a spreadsheet pile-up.

## Why Fignis exists
We started Fignis because serious planning kept ending up in spreadsheets and scripts. We wanted something clearer: a way to model long-range scenarios without losing the logic behind them.

### Why Fignis exists
Important planning should not depend on hidden formulas, duplicated files, and crossed fingers.

### Who it is for
It's for advisory teams, family offices, and households doing serious planning over the next 10, 20, or 30 years.

### What makes it hold up
Fignis keeps the baseline intact, makes changes explicit, and shows why the numbers move.
