CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on March 30, 2009
Personal finance programs are a dime a dozen these days, so the bar is set pretty high when it comes to performance. AceMoney offers tools for creating and maintaining budgets, tracking investments, and even online banking. And while it successfully let us do all of the above, we found that it lacked protection for sensitive information.
The program's interface is very businesslike, and its simple, straightforward design makes the array of options easy to understand and navigate. Large commands at the top of the window let you toggle between seven categories, including accounts, portfolio, banks, payees, and reports. Although the data is presented in an easy to understand spreadsheet format, sample entries are included. A left-hand menu changes depending on which category is selected, and options are clearly labeled. With your portfolio, for example, you can opt to download the latest stock prices, or re-invest dividends. We were able to add banking and credit card information, and schedule bill payments with no problems, and we liked the calendar-style view of money in and out for the month. We also were able to quickly and easily view cash flow and transaction reports. We found a lot to like in AceMoney's simple approach, but we couldn't help feeling vulnerable entering data because the program isn't password protected and doesn't encrypt your private data.
AceMoney includes an online tutorial if needed, although the program's Help file should answer most questions. While AceMoney worked fine, we like to have total confidence that our data is secure. We suggest you look for a financial management program that keeps your private data private.

Version: AceMoney 3.8.3
Pros: Finally an accounting software I understand, I can use, I can correct and I can rely on without all the unessary "bells and "please connect whistles"!
I have searched a long time, tried a lot of different accounting applications and this one is nice and simple and solid! No data loss, easy to backup, easy to restore. Well worth the small $30.00 price tag.
Cons: Having problems with dates and balances when I download .QIF files from my bank. Other than than, great!

Version: AceMoney 3.8.3
Pros: AceMoney has all the features I needed - multiple accounts, workable category listings, and budgeting capability. It's easy to use, and since I don't keep my financial information online, I really like the fact that this program does not hook itself up with a website every time I go online (as did MS Money 2005 et.al.). I tried it for only 2 days, and bought the license. Anyone who needs basic, thorough home bookkeeping would do well to try AceMoney!

Version: AceMoney 3.8.3
"Cannot Download/Export from all financial Institutions"
Pros: There is no contact/telephone for Tech Support. Tech support is very poor and non-responsive. Software is easy to use but if you cannot download your data from financial instutions then what use is it for?
Cons: Could not download my data from Discover Card and TD Waterhouse. I contacted via email to tech support and got a vague answer:"Just download any file, AceMoney will import it." Which is NOT True. I contacted them again and want them to either show me how it can be done or refund my $30.00 money back.
