What excites you about this Rivver Accountant's potential usefulness? *

The Caribbean is a slower moving market than the rest of the world therefore, the APIs and financial integrations that many citizens of developed nations benefit from aren't yet available in the Caribbean. So I'm excited most about creating this solution to not just match existing tools that already exist in other parts of the world but also to create cutting edge AI empowered solutions that can provide personalized insights, functioning as an intelligent layer on top of the user's personal financial data.
