My fiancée is Finnish, and she's very patient with me trying to speak Finnish, but my progress is slow (due to lack of structured effort). Do any of you HN Finns or language connoisseurs have any good language-learning resources? I have been unable to find something good online paid or otherwise.

I haven't, and this looks great! Thank you.

memrise warning: the quality of the decks is very variable and more than a few of them will teach you total nonsense. I'm not remotely qualified to evaluate the Finnish-English decks (I know exactly two words of Finnish) but I just made a huge 'ignore' list for one particular English-Dutch deck that would happily teach you absolute nonsense.
