For Quicken users
Keep Quicken as your system of record. Use FinlyLife when you need a plan.
Import a Quicken net worth snapshot, ask a real question, and get next steps grounded in your household data.
Quicken is the wedge, not the whole product: you keep the records there and use FinlyLife for decision support.
Fast workflow
- 1 Export a Quicken Net Worth CSV.
- 2 Review matches conservatively so balances refresh without changing holdings.
- 3 Ask a planning question and review the data used before acting.
Why this wedge works
Built around conservative imports and visible planning logic
Quicken already has the household record. FinlyLife adds the planning layer on top so you can move from balances to decisions without handing over bank passwords.
No automatic holdings overwrite
Quicken imports refresh account and debt balances only. Holdings stay under your control.
Stable monthly snapshot
Each question stays tied to a known household baseline instead of whatever details you happened to remember.
Planning questions, not just import success
Retirement timing, debt priorities, allocation gaps, cash reserves, and college planning all start from the same import.
