Editors’ Review

Account Xpress is a personal finance management app with plenty of features. But you can easily start with the basics and incorporate new tasks as you learn more about the software.

Pros

Feature set: Account Xpress offers numerous ways to track and manage finances. We were impressed by the options in tasks such as Budget that allow two methods for tracking and managing these numbers.

Help file: Account Xpress' interface is professional-looking, but there are quite a few options presented in a small window. The app's extensive Help file is the best place to begin. Not only does it explain the features, it helps you understand important information about the software and its money-management goals, as well as why each of the features can help you get a better picture of your overall finances.

Cons

Interface: Account Xpress has a small window with a lot of options on offer. Even if you've worked with a personal finance manager before, you'll still need to spend some time in the Help file to understand the best way to use its features.

Bottom Line

If you need a comprehensive tool to help you manage and track your money, Account Xpress has much to offer. Don't be put off by the somewhat daunting interface, as the excellent Help file will answer most, if not all, of your questions.

Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Account Xpress 3.8.8.

What’s new in version 4.0.2

- Improved user interface- Monthly based period selection- General list of transactions- List of accounts by type- List of accounts by currency- Improved navigation bar- Improved budgeting- List of pending transactions- Transaction templates shortcut key- Loan / Mortgage CSV files import- Import mappings (automatically map imported transactions to proper category, payee, etc.)- Greatly improved context sensitive help

A good program for personal finance
mjnelson99February 1, 2016
Pros
Account Express mostly fits the bill. It was relatively easy to import QIF files from Quicken for each account separately. Quicken did not export QXF or QFX files in a way Account Express could import. Setting up monthly income/payments was pretty easy. My Account Express program balances now jives with external sources like bank. I suspect there may be fewer duplicate entries when using QFX rather than QIF but not sure. Just be alert the first few times you import MANUALLY since that is the only option. Not automatic. My personal goal was to stop using Quicken and this program will do that.
Cons
The program does not automatically mark items cleared when you do a download from the bank and sometimes it will duplicate an entry if I have the payee different from the bank. When doing transfers from bank account to credit card account the names only show up in Memo Column rather than Payee Column. The Memo Column is harder to find a transaction than when a name is in the Payee column. I found a work/around for that. Wish I could change the order of columns and eliminate some of the items in the menus I don't use. So far haven't found a way to do that.
Summary
You get 30 days to play with the program in an unrestricted way, so give it a test run.
Very useful - needs improvement
ahasidimJuly 25, 2013
Pros
I've been working with ACX more than 10 years now. It's reliable, fairly easy to use and does the job. Allows you to monitor your income and expenses and track transaction based on account, budget category and payee. Useful report and graph system Multi-currency and easy to access file system
Cons
Well, it's a bit obsolete... Somebody forgot to bring it into the 21st century Can't connect it to an online account (all new data has to be fed in manually though it does has automatic transaction creation) , can't download transactions automatically, doesn't have a cellular app... in other words - it doesn't walk with you. Another small glitch is the fact that you can't put several payees in an advanced transaction, meaning some of your payee data will not be fed.
Summary
If you're looking for personal finance program that does the work - ACX is a very good choice. If you're looking for a little bit extra - transaction download, online access or cellular app - look somewhere else.
couldn't import QIF
-deb-December 31, 2010
Pros
looks full-featured, but...
Cons
Unable to use, memory access violation on Vista when attempting to import a QIF file.
Summary
Looks great, hopefully they'll get the bugs worked out.
Qicken files not accepted, should be easier to start
peezocxciiiDecember 11, 2010
Pros
Free to download
Cons
Quicken and CSV files not accepted, set up not easy, help files didn't solve problem
Summary
I installedthis program understanding that it wasn't quicken. However, I couldn't get my quicken file to be accepted by software. I tried searching help files to find a solution, but nothing seem to help. Even tried file in CSV format and still wouldn't work properly. In the end, the extra work wasn't worth the effort, especially since I can purchase a cheap version of last years Quicken and avoid this problem entirely.
No automatic download from banks
PixelMetricsJune 16, 2010
Pros
I didn't give the program enough time to see any pros.
Cons
No automatic downloading of transactions from banks and credit cards. You must manually open a browser, go to each account, login, fill out the banks download form, download a OFX or QIF file, then individually Import those files into Account Xpress.
Summary
I stopped when I realized no automatic downloading.
simply the best
k3of4August 13, 2009
Pros
Ease of use, feature-rich, excellent performance, helpful support
Cons
Perhaps a little learning curve getting started
Summary
This is not MS Money (now defunct) or Quicken - in fact, I've been using this program for several years now and still believe it is far better at personal finance management. Looking forward to future versions.
5 STAR PLUS
Larry WarnerSeptember 4, 2008
Pros
Ease of Imput and Reports. Help always available
Cons
There is NOTHING I dislike about this Personal Accounting Program
Summary
In rating Account Xpress 3.3.5 I would rate it 5 Star Plus. I used another Accounting Program for about 25/30 years. I decided to to see if something was better. I looked over those on "CNet" and tried about 5 personal accounting programs including Quicken's . Some were very good but did not meet what I needed in the ease of entering my material and getting the reports I wanted. Others were of no use to me and that included Quicken's program. Account Xpress was every thing I was looking for. Entering my information is very easy and the reports are excellent and well laid out The quality of this program is more than excellent. Of course I have had questions regarding the set-up of the program and how to use it. Answers were received in a day or two, which to me was great. Also when getting the answers, it was always mentioned, "Any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us". This of course is very important. I cannot speak highly enough regarding Account Xpress 3.3.5 as an excellent Personal accounting program.I Larry Warner
Wow, simple but very effective
austinyoung8December 13, 2007
Pros
I enjoy the simplicity if this software, also, as freeware, it doesn't have any "demo" restrictions....that I can think of.
Cons
Summary
The very best!
k3of4February 20, 2007
Pros
If you don't need check printing a la Quicken (who uses checks that much anymore?) this is the best program I've found for personal finance and budget tracking. I've used it for years and I'm convinced it is far better than many other programs that get a lot more exposure.
Cons
Summary
Intuitive. Can be used right out of the box.
bobheapsMay 26, 2005
Pros
It covers all the requirements I need in an accounting program. Information is very quick and easy to enter. Regular transactions require only one click. The budget feature is invaluable for someone who has to watch their pennies. Splitting transactions is also a very good feature. A good buy
Cons
