Accountz Home Accountz review

You can also use the program’s charting tools to create a range of different graphs that show you exactly where your money is going. There are two ways to view charts. In the Transactions view, you can filter your transactions, for instance by date, and then use the dedicated charting tool to create a visual representation of your expenditure. This can be a very good way of understanding your finances.

If you don’t want to create customised charts, just open the CoA in the Transactions view and click on any account group. Accountz will show you a bar chart in which the activity on the account is broken down by amount and type. Our only reservation about the charting features was the visual quality of the charts themselves, which are fairly basic and sometimes look a bit as if they’re over-enlarged bitmap images.

The filtering tool that we’ve already mentioned is another of the new features that weren’t part of Personal Accountz. Using it, you can choose to filter transactions by a wide range of criteria, by date, by account, by currency, reconciled and reconciled statements and so on. Beyond being useful when creating charts, filtering is a very good way of homing in on particular transactions.

Home Accountz is easy to get your head around and has everything you need to help you get your home finances in order. If we had one criticism, it would be the slightly old-fashioned interface.
