#Moneydance for windows software

For someone who gets paid every 2 weeks, that messes me around a bit.

The only flaw I have found is in the budget scheduling - you can't do say 'once every 4 weeks' it has to be once ever month. On top of that this app is blitzingly fast compared to others. Then the top-level account's balance is the sum of all the ones below it. I can create 'accounts' inside my bank account for say bills, savings, etc. Budgeting is a nightmare like that, but because Moneydance allows me to create 'virtual' accounts (pretend ones) underneath the main account, it gives me a new way to budget. I don't earn a steady income as a business owner - it is whatever I get from clients what I get paid. I looked into a large number of others including Gnu cash but none seemed to do what I want. I have spent years with Quicken - it is horribly buggy, unreliable, forgets my data, and doesn't seem to ever do quite what I want. I created an account just to post how happy I am with this software. I would recommend anyone looking for such a program to at least give MoneyDance a try. I haven't really come across any downsides yet. (The client is still in beta, but from what I've seen so far I am very impressed.) On top of this, it has an API and a mobile client, which is icing on the cake for me.

Now I know that everyone has their own tastes, but personally, I find MoneyDance to be exactly what I'm looking for in terms of how things are layed out, what information is represented, etc. The developers know exactly what they want the app to be, and it is great at what it is. The reports are just an example of something that I think spans the entire app: vision. The other ones I've used for long periods of time (MoneyManagerEx, KMyMoney) functioned well enough, but their reports were rather lacking. What really puts MoneyDance above the others, in my opinion, is mainly its reports, which is what I look for most in a piece of finance software. The pickings are rather slim for someone who uses the 3 big operating systems (Mac, Windows, Linux), so I was ecstatic when I came across MoneyDance.
