Mark, thanks for the post.
This is a huge validation for the uninitiated that spreadsheets are an amazing way to manage money. Not a fringe solution, but with Microsoft’s endorsement it’s a very mainstream solution. (Of course you already knew spreadsheets were great - but many people still don’t.)
As you know, we offer Google Sheets (our longstanding solution) and Excel (in beta). We are getting great feedback on Excel. Our product focus this spring is improving our core feeds across Google Sheets and Excel, especially with banks that are using MFA. We just released our new Account Summary, and more is in the works. As that work completes, we’ll review feedback on the Excel beta, assess next steps with Excel, and share more about our plans.
I smile because my job working on Microsoft Money in 1994 was the seed crystal that started Tiller Money. By 2015 or so, I was wondering… “why hasn’t the state of the art for personal finance evolved much since Microsoft Money circa 1994?” With that we created Tiller Money. So, welcome back Microsoft!
Our team is fired up with the founding mission that got us here. We want to empower people with great personal finance solution in their spreadsheets, great templates, a dynamic community (you are a big part of that), and a business that promotes the privacy and security of our customers’ data. All of this is in service to giving our customers more control over their money, their lives, and their futures.
