YNAB (https://www.youneedabudget.com/) was the trick for us-- while I am totally comfortable with these kind of tools or even just a spreadsheet, the app and functionality from YNAB made it accessible to my significant other. We also like the "envelope" method for budgeting, so this made it a natural fit. I recommend everyone at least try it if they're not budgeting already.

(If this is what you meant by family finances-- as others have pointed out, there's a difference between budgeting and accounting. YNAB has met all of my family's needs in the financial realm.)
