Finally got around to taking the burden of managing the family’s day-to-day finances off my wife’s plate. My inclination was to download Quicken’s software to my Mac and power ahead. But I took a stab at Quicken Online, and I have to say it was one of the more impressive web software experiences I have ever had.

(Here is an older CNET review and another review from blogger GetRichSlowly.org).

The set up was simple, the integration of my bank accounts (where I already have online bill pay wired in) and my credit card account (which covers the rest of the family’s transaction history) was also simple, and then the simple feature set made it easy to actually get caught up on our bill pay and current cash flow picture.

Sure, it’s a simple solution – it isn’t really set up to wire in to Quicken Software (yet!) and I don’t get sense it’s really set up to wire in my investment portfolio to become my ultimate financial web hub…but that’s clearly where the roadmap is headed. It is just super compelling to know you can access your info via Web wherever you are and via any device.
