Mint.com in Canada

There isn't very much in the way of finance packages in Canada.

For small businesses, there are basically two offerings: Simply Accounting, and Quickbooks.

There are no online versions of either, at least not by the vendors themselves. Intuit doesn't even offer trial downloads of Quickbooks, nor do they offer the free starter version for individual finances.

For home users, you have Quicken, and not much else. Microsoft Money was available in numerous versions, but only in the US. The Canadian-specific version was equivalent to the US's Standard version. The last edition was made in 2006. It was an easy-to-use program. I wish they had the Small Business version in Canada. Heck, Office Small Business Accounting was an awesome program too, but it never made it out of the US and UK.

Simply Accounting is a nightmare, and Quickbooks is only slightly better. They really need to do some major UI work on these programs because both look and feel (and are as counter-productive) as legacy Windows 95 applications.
