Water damage to my MacBook Air and needing my reconciled data from 2 weeks ago? I was told it is not possible by the Chat BOT at Quicken.
The data shown on your phone is from the QWeb … which can not be used as a backup/retrieval source.
Can you use statements or downloads from your financial institutions to identify this data?
This is the benefit/necessity of regular backups that are stored OFF of your computer.

I feel your pain, @Es Jee :-( Sadly, if you don't have a Time Machine or other local backup drive - thumb drive / anything - and have not been making cloud backups, nothing can be recovered. I hope that there is a chance that the MacBook Air might turn on after allowing it to dry out for a week. Turning on too soon could short things out catastrophically though.
When you get a Mac running again, and set up from scratch and start downloading your data again (only the recent past will download from the financial institutions), do consider at least a thumb drive, or if you have good internet, backing up to the cloud. In Quicken Preferences for Backups, you can set a cloud drive - such as a free Dropbox or other provider - as the target for your backups and have it ask you to back up every time you exit Quicken. Setting up an SSD as a Mac Time Machine drive would be wise too in case you have any future problems as that will restore the entire contents of your Mac onto a new Mac if necessary, or allow you to recover any individual files. I know that doesn' help you today, and again am sorry for the frustating situation you find yourself in.
