2. Is Finply trying to replace Excel? 🔢

No, we're definitely not trying to replace Excel! We love Excel but understand that it can be overwhelming for new users. We're trying to complement Excel's functionality by giving Finply users access to a more simple user interface and by running all the complicated calculations on the backend. Doing this lets you develop models much more quickly and give you more confidence that they are free from formula errors.
