Although there are quite a few different personal finance software packages available for a Microsoft Windows PC, I personally use an old version of Microsoft Money 2000, I have not seen many packages available for personal finance management on the Mac or on Linux.
Today however I found GnuCash on the web. It describes itself as “GnuCash is personal and small-business financial-accounting software, freely licensed under the GNU GPL and available for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris and Mac OSX.”
GnuCash seems to be a fairly feature rich personal finance application. It includes:
- Checkbook-Style Register
- A fairly robust (from what I can tell) Financial Reporting and Graphing Module
- Different Account Types to help monitor cash flow
- Support for multiple currencies
- Stock and Mutual Fund Portfolios
- Small Business Accounting Module, which includes Customer and Vendor tracking, Invoicing and Bill Payments, and Tax and Billing Terms
- Intuit Quicken QIF import
- Support for the Open Financial Exchange (OFX) protocal
- Statement Reconciliation
- Localization
- Financial Transaction Search Feature
- Support for Online Stock and Mutual Fund Quotes
- Cheque Printing
- Scheduled Transactions
- and quite a bit more
Although I won’t be using this myself I will be suggesting it to my friends at work who are running Mac OSX as an option for their own Free Personal Finance Software.
