Financial Software By Dick Mayback, Brookdale Computer Users Group, NJ, www.bcug.com, n2nd (at) att.net

I, like many others, have used Quicken for There are dozens of financial programs available, years to manage our family finances. In 2015 Intuit and I selected two of these for evaluation, GnuCash sold it, and the new owner has recently decided to (http://www.gnucash.org/) and HomeBank (http:// make it a subscription product, requiring users to homebank.free.fr/en/).

However, if you record imported from Quicken, shown in Screen 1. purchase a new PC, you may not be able to install your existing Quicken on it. What are the alternatives? I use the software only for our checking account and enter all the data into it manually; moreover, I don’t use it to transfer funds electronically. Although TurboTax can import data directly from Quicken, I don’t use this feature either. As a result, I have considerable flexibility in choosing a program. I evaluated accounting programs by importing our data from Quicken and using them in parallel with Quicken for several months. During this time, I entered the new checks and deposits, reconciled the account, and prepared reports. This let me check that the programs would do what I need and compare the efforts required.

The F1 key opens the on-line manual, which of course requires Internet access. HomeBank can import QIF, QFX, and CSV files, and can export QIF ones. Thus, if you find after using it for a while that it isn’t suitable, you can move your data to another program. If HomeBank doesn’t meet your needs, you might consider the more complex GnuCash. It uses double-entry accounting, which makes it suitable for business use and for organizations who are subject to audit, and it includes features for asset management and on-line banking. Its home screen, shown in Screen 5, hints at its double-entry approach.

Unlike in Quicken, there are no categories; instead there are multiple accounts. Checking accounts are essentially the same as in single-entry systems; the others take similar roles to categories.

If you find an error in a reconciled transaction, you enter a separate transaction to make the correction. Once I became acquainted with GnuCash, I found it quite easy to use, although entering transactions is slightly more cumbersome than with Quicken. A peculiarity worth mentioning is that while GnuCash can import data files in several formats, including QIF, QFX, and CSV, it can export only in CSV. Many programs, including Quicken can import only QIF files. Software is available to convert CSV files to QIF, but it involves additional work (and additional chances for mischief), especially since Quicken is fussy about the flavor of QIF. Another caution is that all the discussion I’ve seen on importing is for Intuit’s versions of Quicken; I don’t know if there are problems with the new one. A bonus GnuCash feature is that it has a companion Android app that can export data to the PC program. You can use Android GnuCash Screen 6.
