I'm trying to use to org-capture insert tables into a datetree that I use
to manage my finances. Below is the capture template I set up for it. Is
there a way to make the table be aligned after I finalize the capture?

The ,(concat ...) stuff did not work for me: is is supposed to? I get
"invalid capture template".
Be that as it may, you can do this (maybe with more safeguards):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook (function my-capture-table-align))
(defun my-capture-table-align ()
(forward-line 1) ;; skip the #+name line
(if (org-at-table-p 'any)
(org-table-align)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
