Hi,
No doubt Pharo will fit the task. I developed a financial application
for mortgages debt consolidation where the sources of data were numerous.
With Pharo you will build a model with classes representing each part of
the domain of your data set. With Tests you will consolidate your model,
important when you change your model it will ensure your computations
are still valid. I use it a lot in mortgage, debt ratio and debt
consolidation calculus.
From your description, it seems your application will be mono-user. If
so any text file to keep the data will be ok: xml, json, csv. But sqlite
could be a very nice option too, I think this is what I will use.
I think you will enjoy using Pharo to write your app.

I'm thinking about implementing a software solution in Pharo (as one
of the candidate environments), it's a project that I'm dealing with
professionally. The goal is to develop a financial planning/simulation
application on the country level, which is at present developed as a
set of interrelated Excel spreadsheets. The requirement is that the
solution should be more "manageable", resilient and straightforward
than Excel permits, that it should present a workflow to the user -
i.e. , that the tasks the user should do are suggested through the GUI.
