Why there has to be another finance accounting system, when we have Excel, Quicken and GnuCash, as well as a bunch of other 50 programs and services? We consider fin-ack a next generation system, incorporating the best approaches, developed in the genesis of internet-enabled applications from simple web-sites, via intellectual services, that become the better the more people use them (Web 2.0), to ubiquitous web, accessible not only from PC, but from many other common devices as well.

The following principles, which we are and will continue to follow, are at the core of fin-ack:

• Accessibility and ease of use. ...
• Flexibility and configurability. ...
• Accent on security. We undertand, that personal financial information is a rather critical thing for anyone. In our system we'll store solely the data you'll enter. We'll try to keep your full anonimity (if you won't desire the opposite). Besides, we'll accomplish all the necessary actions for technical protection of your data.
• Bussiness model. ...

To sum up it can be stated, that Fin-ack started from a idea to make 'Gmail for personal finances': handy, flexible, robust and innovative web-service for accounting and analysis. And we'll do our best to reach this high standard of quality and continue development further beyond it.
