The plain text accounting options are by far the best if you're willing to give up automatic pretty navigation and graphing.

Please tell me the fastest way to analyze the expenses from bank statemẹnts and catẹgorise them accordingly
I use ledger (https://plaintextaccounting.org/) to manage my transactions in plain text and then generate reports. I copy/paste the transactions from pdfs received monthly in an Emacs Org file and then convert them to ledger format using ob-lc (https://github.com/jayrajput/ob-ledger-convert). There is a steep learning curve, but the results are awesome.

Are there any Perfios users here? The Perfios Finance Manager (PFM) is shutting down on 1-August-2023
I had tried few apps in the past (Walnut, Mint etc), but I was reluctant to share my bank credentials, sms access etc. At some point, I came across plain text accounting concept and never looked back. There is a big learning curve in the beginning, but in the long run, I think it is essential to understand the basics of accounting. Since it's just a command line tool, it's hard to visualize the data. So I built a UI layer on top of the ledger command line tool called paisa.

An open-source alternative to QuickBooks
There's also Plain Text Accounting[1]. The biggest problem of all open source solutions, accountants' experience aside, is the lack of banking and taxes integration, especially outside of US, e.g. for Asian, South American, or African businesses. The most promising FOSS solution for SME I was able to find is Akaunting[2][3].

Can i use org-mode tables for accounting trading transactions?
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.

Plugin for ledger-mode?
Does neovim have a plugin available similar to ledger-mode in emacs? I did find this one for vim but not nvim yet. Thanks
-
What primary task(s) do you use emacs for? How were you introduced to using emacs? And since then already how long?
Sure thing! I use ledger with ledger-mode to handle all of my accounting stuff.

Sunsetting Atom - what is the next closest alternative to it ?
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.

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