I am getting the hang of Moneydance but have found it almost impossible to import my old data and also find it more cumbersome to use - for example: - you cannot associate a particular suppiler which a standard category (eg - petrol station with fuel) - the new transaction selector is in the top right hand corner of the screen and the input form at the bottom left (my mouse is getting tired!) However I have found their support to be very helpful and made a suggestion via their website http://help.infinitekind.com/ - it good to see how active this site is which indicates a lively user base. I too looked at Accountz but do not find them helpful or response and so have abandoned my evaluation of their software I am currently evaluating Moneydance – I have used Micosoft Money for years and found it very good but as they have abandoned the UK (unfortunately) I think that we have to assume that one day it won’t work under some future version of Windows and so needs replacing.

I think MoneyDance is very close to Microsoft Money which of course will not work on Macs. It's very intuitive and easy to use - I tried trials of Home Accountz (Could not get it to work, shame because it's a British company), iBank, SEEFinance (which I thought was quite good until I tried to reconcile my accounts with printed Bank statements).

Finally I have found the solution in Moneydance! I would recommend it to anyone who seeks MS Money for Mac.

I have used mint, yodlee and quicken in the past but could not find them suitable for my requirements. currently I am using manageME and really find it suitable. Its in development phase.one thing I really like about manageME is that it give due regard to consumer feedback. manageME can also be a great resource for money management.

Using subaccounts, it is possible to use the envelope style of budgetting with it, so the software can double as historical tracking of your finances, and proactive forward planning. Very good value for the price, and updates come free. I agree, Moneydance is an excellent piece of software.
