Is there any Finance Software that actually works?

[D0ct0rteeth]

Is there any software that will actually allow me to do my financial transactions and bookeeping in osx.

According to their website Quicken/Quickbooks doesn't support my bank and all the files i try on versiontracker are basically just apps for balancing my checkbook... they dont actually facilitate the transactions.

Anything out there for this?

Thanks.

I loved MYOB, on early versions. With luck, it will suit you. Where does Quicken fall short? Give us more data.

I want the ability to actually pay the bills in the software...

click = transfer money from my account to the vendor. ie: online banking or electronic checking.

I use MYOB and it works fine for me.

dont use PCs though (if you use AIB -which nobody in america does - so i think ill shut up now)

My bank sent me software for the PC for their online banking service and it had a built in modem dialer. I was using ISDN and when i rang them up they said that their professional business package did not support anything other than a dialup modem coneection.

My bank is AIB (Allied Irish Bank) by the way.

actually, i used to use AIB here in New York, they have a branch here, very nice too. a step above the big banks over here, which are abysmal (sp?) and the banks like AIB are getting more popular. Commerce Bank is awesome btw oh, and the guy at AIB i always talk to is a Liverpool FC fan too!

but yeah, quickbooks pro for mac is just useless, it's basically qbp from years back with os x buttons. very poor. my accountant was waiting for years for it to be updated for mac, and he returned it with a NASTY letter. i'm looking too but have heard bad things about all the major players in the market.....

MYOB is great-IU've jsed it on a pc at school (during fre time). Bretter than say the features found in Quicken's line(reven though I reckon quicken Australia should makea ver.of their quocken m,ac compatiblew).

Ahhh, brings a tear to my eye... but dont let it fool you, the Irish banks are just as money hungry and devious as every other major bank - they just have nicer buildings......

With your bank, your best bet is Virtual PC. (although I have never tested a modem with it)
I know with my clients bank, the PC software that they used wasn't very common and tech support was a problem.

my point is that it doesnt support anything more than modem dialling (no ISDN, no Cable, no ADSL, no nothing....). I already have a PC for doing it. And they call it their professional package.
