alternative to MS Money
mads - 8/11/10 at 06:07 PM

Was asked this by my boss today and as I don't use MS Money I couldn't really advise...

Can anyone recommend me any decent alternatives to MS Money than can run on Windows 7 (he says that his current version of MS Money wont install on his new PC - dont know what the problem is and his home is in Devon so not planning to go find out)

Doesn't matter if costs a little but if there is a good free version then please let me know. Also, if there is one that can import his old MS Money files in then even better.

I personally use MS Excel to do my budgetting but he isn't that tech-savvy so needs a 3rd party application that he can simply just use.


Cheers all

I use GnuCash - http://www.gnucash.org/

Open source and versions for Windows and Linux, the actual accounts files are in the same format, I run the software on both my Linux PC and Windows XP/Windows 7 laptops.

Works very well and cheap (free)!

+1 for GnuCash

(I use it via Linux, but no reason why it shouldn't work on Windoze too)
