Nice homepage. Some screenshots would be very helpful in evaluating the product.
Not sure if you've considered different business models, but mint.com's strategy of offering cost saving alternatives could work well here. Something like "you've spent 500 on office supplies this month.. did you know you could save $300/year with an OfficeMax mastercard? [affiliate link here]"
We've certainly been talking about the idea. I think that this is positioned a little differently from Mint. People are far more willing to pay for business software (especially the kind that cuts down on manual labour) than they are on personal efficiency software.
I think that leaves us some room to charge a reasonable monthly fee for some premium features. That is an easier, and more direct, business model.
The Mint-style stuff might come later if we have a big enough audience.
