Organize and manage your personal finances quickly and easily
Managing your financial affairs can be a real drag and, unless you’ve got piles of cash stored in your basement, it can be easy to lose track of where your cash is going and ensure that all your payments are made on time. Unless you can afford to keep paying an accountant, it’s a good idea to invest in a decent home accounting application like AceMoney to help you keep tabs on your cash.
AceMoney is one of a number of apps designed to make it easier to track your income and spending than using a spreadsheet (or writing it all on the back of a beermat). The software is very simple to pick up and start using, thanks to its clear icons and navigation bar. Unlike many of its peers, AceMoney includes a facility for viewing all of your money at once through its accounts overview feature, where you can check accounts, investments and pending bills from one place.
The banking features in AceMoney are simple-to-understand and besides allowing you to view your accounts, an online facility gives you direct access, allowing you to make transfers, deposits and consult live details through AceMoney. This sounds great in theory, but in reality there are only a few banks registered with the system and no credit unions. Besides its banking facilities, there’s a useful portfolio manager in AceMoney for keeping a check on your investments and nine different reporting tools to help you better chart your financial progress.
Although these features are well executed, there are areas where AceMoney is somewhat lacking. For instance, AceMoney's financial planning section is very sparse and basically amounts to a calculator for working out loan repayments and savings plans, rather than tools for helping you plan all your finances ahead. There are also no tax options, so these calculations have to be done in another app and copied into AceMoney, which could lead to errors.
AceMoney is a good value program that offers a simple way to track your financial transactions in order to keep your head above water. However, if you’re running a business or need to plan your finances in great detail then the software is somewhat lacking and it’ll be worth splashing out for a more powerful application.

No support whatsoever. Not updated for years. Very weird ways to handle share/stock transactions. Share/stock account values cannot be added to your total worth. Doesn't insert decimal point automatically, despite setting it in Preferences (windows version). No keyboard shortcuts used anywhere - or at least not shown. Lots of other nagging "features". On the positive side it is fast to load and fast working. Not worth the money. More

Can't import online bank data.
Sub-standard product.It can not import bank information correctly. Creating a brand new account and importing the data does not match the bank balance when complete. In other words you can't start out with any history at all unless you want to put in an adjustment transaction. I have submitted two help tickets that have not even been acknowledged.
Pros:
Nice UI, which is why I bought it
Cons:
Not state of the art as far as e-transactions and bank interchange. More
