| Another beta,
but Money Tree has been very well thought out and written. There is full WPS integration:
simply use drag and drop to create new ledgers, reports and so on. Although aimed squarely
at the US market, Money Tree is appropriate for use in Australia, but you may find a
function or two that you will never use. You can create account ledgers for cheques, cash,
savings, loan and credit accounts, and all ledgers support reconciliation, transfers
between accounts, split transactions. . . the list goes on! There are calculator and calendar functions, filtering of
categories based on transaction type plus a printed cheque facility. For those complicated
folk, you can create as many ledgers as you need and put them wherever you want. A very
powerful feature is the sophisticated query and report module -- you can define custom
queries using point and click selections, cash flow to review your income and expenses,
net worth to analyse your assets and liabilities and, of course, the ability to display or
print results in tabular or graphical form.
One of the sections of Money Tree that really
shines is the easy to use budgeting -- you can even automatically budget based on previous
financial history. Budgeting periods exist in weekly, bi-weekly, two month, monthly and
yearly displays, and may be printed as tables or graphs. As with other financial programs,
you can import from Quicken QIF files, and you can have an unlimited number of Money Tree
objects of any type (depending on your hardware). |
