From MacMerlin Computer Services:
Don't have time for a full-blown financial program but need something more than a spreadsheet? Need to tally up by category for tax preparation? SmartLedger may be just enough tool for the job.
SmartLedger's mission is to help you track income and expense without having to type numbers, dates, and names. SmartLedger makes use of pop-down lists that automatically grow as you use the program, so that you can click, rather than type, most of your information after your first few entries.
SmartLedger is ideal for adding up randomly all those receipts you've stuffed into a grocery sack, awaiting your accountant's attention. Don't sort them out by hand -- just start with the first one and continue till you reach the bottom of the bag. Leave sorting and subtotaling to the program. Other uses: quick expense reports for your employer, monitoring a chancy budget. This simple program is flexible and won't lock you into account reconciliations. Enter only the transactions that are meaningful to you or your accountant. Reconcile when you want to, using the checkboxes and Accounts button.
SmartLedger comes with make-believe sample entries. Play with the buttons to see what the program does. Then, when you're ready to start your own ledger, click "Remove Sample Entries" to get rid of the make-believe entries.
You'll swear this application has artificial intelligence (indeed, it has intuition). Get to know the on-screen toggles and pointers, and you'll be entering transactions more quickly than you'd ever have thought possible.
Do you have a PayPal account? SmartLedger can import your PayPal account history automatically and give you the big picture on income/expense, subtotaled by category.
For on-line vendors, an eBay fee and consignment calculator is included. To incorporate account history from other banks, use the Import Manually command under the SmartLedger Menu.
Built with FileMaker Developer as a standalone application, SmartLedger looks and behaves the same on both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Three versions are available: Windows, Mac OS X, and Mac "classic" OS 8/9.x.
What's new in this version:
- Restore My Backup, a command under the SmartLedger Menu, now allows more flexibility for managing multiple ledgers and their backup files.
- The Import PayPal features have been revised and updated to conform to changes in the way PayPal offers business account history files for downloading.
- Improved appearance of the on-screen command buttons. Eliminated an unwanted blinking effect when browsing through records in the ledger.

"Best $20 I ever spent"
Version: SmartLedger 3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Okay, it was $23 Cdn. Still, it was well worth it.
As a very disorganized person who dreads collecting receipts, when all I had to look forward to was a nightmare in Excel, I started to look for accounting software for Mac. I came across SmartLedger, downloaded it for a trial and was immediately hooked. I had tried trial versions of other programs and all of them gave me headaches.
Sure, it might not be the most aesthetically pleasing program out there, but I'll take functionality over appearance any day. SmartLedger is very easy to use. Setting up the taxes, GST and PST, was a snap. I actually enjoy inputting my data now. I printed out a report to see how that works -- again, very easy. I've also been able to tailor a couple of the functions to my own specific needs (I am both employed and self-employed in the arts).
As a further note, I emailed Alex, the developer, this evening with a couple of questions regarding functions that weren't screaming "Here I am!" at me. Within two hours I'd received a reply with detailed instructions. For such an immediate and attentive response, I say bravo! -

"Just What it Claims to Be"
Version: SmartLedger 2.4b
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I'm not a number guy. I am also not an advocate of shoe box accounting, but unfortunately I tend to find myself in that position at the end of each year. It is so good to be able to just pull stuff out of that box and enter it as it comes, letting the software sort and collate it instead of me doing the dry run with receipts stacked in date piles before actually entering the data into something I've forgotten how to use.
How to make this application useful is so obvious that I truly almost didn't even bother exploring the sample entries. It doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. It is a straight forward entry system that creates a clear presentation of my accounts that is useful to me and also to my accountant.
Even if you payed for it, tried it and decided it didn't meet all your needs, or you simply out grew it at some point, hey it's $20. My time is worth more than that, I'm sure yours is too. It has saved me loads of number thinking aggravation I'd rather leave to an accountant, so that I can work on other things I'm much better at. My accountant doesn't expect me to have a pro accounting application or to know how to use it, but does appreciate an organised presentation, (even if basic), which saves them time and me cost. SmartLedger does this for me anyway. This simple app also allows you to usefully print or export your information for your accountant into a variety of formats useful for a number of accounting packages if required.
I am a happy paid up Shareware user. -
"Perfect Software!"
Version: SmartLedger 2.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have been searching for software like this for a LONG time. I was so frustrated with the other accounting software that is available out there. They are all way too complicated and time consuming to learn. I needed something that would be easy to learn and make sense. This software has made such a huge difference in the time I spend doing book work. Thanks a ton for putting the time into developing it!!!!!!! -

Version: SmartLedger 2.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Filemaker applications just plain suck as does this because it's a Filemaker app. It's UI is chunky and inelegant, functionality is slow and quirky. These are general limitation so every Filemaker application I've ever seen. The developer would dow him/herself some good by moving away from Filemaker.
