DEPUTYBILLMicrosoft money equivalent for apple computer
I currently use a pc with the old micro soft money app.
I am thinking of going to a Mac computer and would like to know if there are any money management systems that are similar to ms money?
Thanks!

vthokyYes, Quicken.
Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

architect MoneyDance, I have been using this bookkeeping app for over 20 years since it was distributed on floppy disks. The original author was a member of a computer club/user group in my area, and would demo/peddle the product at meetings.
Feature for feature it compares well with QuickBooks, and it supports all Quicken data formats for import and export. Reasonable cost with a free trial, and unparalleled customer service. There's an iPhone app as well as iPad and macOS.
It is suitable for personal/family money management, or even a small business's accounting needs.
I'd be happy to answer questions sent to my e-mail address.

Fly-SigQuicken is a monthly subscription product. Is this a web based app or is it standalone on my Mac, so I can use it without being online?
Their website is the usual fluff without details. Presumably it automatically retrieves information from brokerage, credit card, and bank accounts?
Does it have a forward looking calendar function that will alert me to things like bonds maturing?

220-9erThey’re all subscriptions now.
I still have the 2018 version as it’s the last one you can purchase once.

mcrimmI was running Quicken for windows on my Mac behind Parallels but just switch to the Mac version. It needs work but I’m dumping windows from my Mac.
I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown

joel9507The Quicken feature I find I can't do without is their connection to financial institutions - banks, credit cards, brokerages, etc. - to grab transaction details.
Saves me a skidload of effort at tax time. I don't rely on either the institution (or Quicken, for that matter) as to categorizing the transactions, but they get the dates, amounts and payees right, which is all I need.
