MIC-05-3 tools for finances

In preparing to meet with a financial advisor today, I was scrambling around to create a comprehensive inventory of our financial assets. It shouldn't have been that hard but I did have to do some amount of digging around. Now that I have the skeleton of an inventory, what tools should I use to fill out the outline and keep it up to date? Are there tools that will keep a financial inventory up-to-date automatically? I will work through the list at Tools and calculators - Bogleheads in search of such tools.

Let me tell you what perplexity.ai writes in response to the paragraph above:

Keeping a comprehensive inventory of your financial assets up-to-date
can indeed be a challenging task. However, there are several tools
available that can help you manage your financial inventory and keep it
updated automatically.

  1. Portfolio Management Apps: Apps like Empower (formerly Personal
    Capital), SigFig Wealth Management, Sharesight, and Yahoo Finance
    can help you manage your financial portfolio. These apps can sync
    with your existing accounts, providing real-time information on all
    your investments in one place. They offer features like tracking
    your net worth, creating a savings plan, tracking performance, asset
    allocation, and fees with easy-to-read graphs and charts. Some of
    these apps also offer automated investing for a fee, optimizing your
    portfolio and providing daily monitoring to keep it on track with
    rebalancing, dividend reinvestment, and tax-efficient
    strategies ref

  2. Budget Apps: Apps like Mint, YNAB (You Need A Budget),
    Goodbudget, EveryDollar, and PocketGuard can help you manage your
    budget and track your spending. These apps can sync with your
    financial accounts, track spending, and categorize expenses so you
    can see where your money is going. Some of these apps also offer
    features like setting up alerts when you have exceeded your budget

    reviewing your
    investments ref

    portfolio, computing and comparing tax costs, and modeling virtually

    apps like TPG To Go, Spending Tracker, Mint, Bill Tracker, and
