ledger-mode VS expenses

I use straight.el with use-package and it all pulls ledger-mode from https://github.com/ledger/ledger-mode.git

This isn't technically Emacs specific, but you could look into Plain Text Accounting. I use ledger combined with ledger-mode on Emacs, however there is a more up-to-date one called hledger, with hledger-mode. You can have these setup in an org file and export into a plain text file if you would like, but personally I recommend just using one of those modes and editing a ledger file directly.

Does neovim have a plugin available similar to ledger-mode in emacs? I did find this one for vim but not nvim yet. Thanks

Sure thing! I use ledger with ledger-mode to handle all of my accounting stuff.

For financing I use a simple double entry accounting system called Ledger. It's mainly simple list taking but from what I understand it can be scaled well. I personally prefer using it with ledger-mode , since I use Cone to edit it on my phone, but it is possible to use Org Babel to tangle them to a ledger file.

Ledger is cool but you need to use emacs https://github.com/ledger/ledger-mode

No. For ledger, there is already ledger-mode. This one is much simpler, just uses org files and org-table formulas.

Worth also knowing about https://github.com/ledger/ledger-mode which is just an emacs wrapper for the very feature-rich and powerful cli application.

Many are suggesting using org-babel but that is exactly what I do not want. I want a library that could be used directly within an emacs-lisp code. This would make it easy to write Emacs packages that work with data. For example, in the package expenses that I wrote, I want to be able to plot and analyse expenses for different months/categories. Now, this could be done using some library from other languages but it would be much easier and nicer if there is a way to do this using emacs-lisp only.

As mentioned in another comment, if you are looking for something which is fully integrated in Emacs and not too complicated, checkout https://github.com/md-arif-shaikh/expenses.
