    Ideally looking for something that I can use on a Mac (not essential) and has the ability to easily manage/ monitor personal finances.
    Pros/ cons of what you use?
    Costs?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Zem.
    Ideally, I think you need comments from ppl who actually use the software daily.

    For what it’s worth, I tried a couple of programs like Investment Detective I think it was called, looked OK for me small scale, and a few different small scale spreadsheets but never really setup everything and operated with it so not a good test.
    I saw a demo of Somersoft PMS which looked very comprehensive, could be worth a look.

    Ask your bank too. Good luck.
    Cheers

    Hi there

    A simple excel spreadsheet should do the trick.

    I have one that I spend 10 minutes updating each month.

    I have a summary page at the front that has total income/ expenses for the year and a separate sheet for each IP which feeds into the summary page.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    i also just use excel – just use simple formulas, and you can easily adapt the spreadheet to how you want it to look
