Not as good some other products, but does the job May 11, 2008 Music/Book/Film Fan (Morden, UK) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
After I recently ditched the PC in favour of a Mac I found the one application I missed more than anything was MS Money. Mac users are not exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to good, reasonably priced personal finance applications so I settled for Personal Accountz (PAZ). br / br /Whilst PAZ does the job it is meant to do more than adequately it is not on par with, say, MS Money. The user interface in MS Money is far more intuitive than that of PAZ, and PAZ looks and behaves much more like a double entry bookkeeping system. As an accountant this isn't really a problem, but I can see that for some this may be a bit baffling at first. br / br /Some basic set-up work is required before you can start using PAZ. But you can start with just two accounts (e.g. a bank account and an expenses account) and add to the list of accounts as you go along. So you could be up and running in no time - especially as setting up new accounts isn't all that difficult. br / br /One area where PAZ is way ahead of e.g. MS Money is the way your accounts can be set up exactly the way you want them, and should you wish to do so you can effectively create your own PL and Balance Sheet type lay-out. Similarly, you can set any number of groups of accounts with several levels of sub-groups which can be rolled up and summarised at the click of a button. br / br /As I said, Mac users don't have much of a choice in this area - especially after Intuit stopped supporting Quicken for Mac in the UK - so Personal Accountz is probably the best of an average lot, and let's face it, it isn't a bad piece of software. PC users should either go for the more user friendly MS Money, or - if you're after a proper ledger system - something like MYOB or SAGE.
