Finance Software - a short overview

This lens wants to talk about finance software and the available packages which can be used to make the accountant life easier. :)

Finance Software Comparison 

A short comparison of finance software based on my work experience.
This is just a short list of software which I have managed to test. However, I need to expand it a little bit :)
  • Microsoft Money

    Software License: Commercial
    Vendor: Microsoft
    Site: Microsoft Money

    It is very easy to use and comes with many features. It can be used to manage personal finance data. I really suggest it for families and people who want to track down their expenses and incomes easily :)
  • Quicken - Quickbooks

    Software License: Commercial
    Vendor: Intuit
    Site: Intuit

    Quicken - Quickbooks is a very rich/complex software package and can be used by both businesses and privates. It is one of the most popular/common accountant software in US. Highly recommended.
  • Moneydance

    Software License: Commercial
    Vendor: MoneyDance
    Site: MoneyDance

    MoneyDance is a personal finance software application developed by Reilly Technologies, USA. It's mainly a Java application and therefore can be run under multiple OSes. Recommended if you are using Linux or Mac.
  • MYOB

    Software License: Commercial
    Vendor: MYOB
    Site: MYOB

    MYOB is a very good commercial package and extensively used in Oceania. It is often a "must" when applying for an accountant job.
  • GnuCash

    Software License: GNU/GPL
    Vendor: GnuCash
    Site: GnuCash

    GnuCash is both suitable for personal and small-business needs. It is a valid alternative if you are looking for open source finance software. Worth to try!
  • Personal Software Finance

    Software License: Commercial
    Vendor: Personal Software Finance
    Site: Personal Software Finance

    Personal Software Finance is a package which will come with two versions. One for personal use and other for accountants.

Accounting job 

Accounting is not an easy job and requires specific skills. Based on my experience, I can tell that in order to be an accountant you need to know how to use software pretty well. There are very nice software packages out there and if you know how to use them, it will be much easier to handle finance data.
