I finally finished our latest report on small business online banking last night. Just as I was about to upload it, I realized there was something missing in the "dream online banking solution" for small businesses.

So I stopped the "presses" and added it to the report. What was the missing piece? A financial and business management dashboard integrated with online banking.

I poked around the web today and found a few interesting products (see update below), none of which were quite what I was looking for, and had no direct connection to financial institutions:

• MyBizHomepage has a dashboard that integrates with QuickBooks and sounds pretty slick. But there website hasn't been updated for more than a year, so not sure if this is a viable business or just a hobby site. I have an inquiry in to the owner.
• DreamFactory Software also offers QuickBooks-integrated dashboards. I found it in the new Intuit App Center for QuickBooks add-ins (here). It's a powerful program, but not the kind of plug-and-play dashboard I'm looking for.
• iDashboards: Has impressive sample dashboards to view. None integrate directly with online banking, but many include financial data (see screenshot below).

So I'm still looking for financial institution examples. Know any? Comment below or email me. It's too late to make our report, but we'll report it here.
