Home Accountz Awards and Reviews

Computer Shopper gives Home Accountz 5 Stars
The budgeting tool is new to Home Accountz. It lets you easily specify how much you want to spend over the year. By default, the software automatically breaks your annual budget for an item, for instance food, into twelve equal amounts. However, using the budgeting tool you can quickly change the amount assigned to each month as a percentage of the annual total. Once your budget is set, you can use the Period overview to compare your actuals against your budget and to see forecasts for the month ahead. Home Accountz is easy to get your head around and has everything you need to help you get your home finances in order

I must take this opportunity of congratulating you on the work you have done on Home Accountz. I am very pleased with the programme and would recommend it to anyone who wants a good home accounting programme. - John Henrick

Thank you for your email. I have tried your product, find it easy to work with and as a replacment for my old Quicken software it is by far the best I have found. I have purchased the cd version from Amazon online, will I be able to use the licence from that cd verion when it arrives to the licence the trial verion or will I have to reinstall using the cd and is it possible to run the program on two computers as I have one at work and one at home. - Mark Aslett

September 2010 Issue: "Whilst he was prospecting for the best accounts package home users can buy, Bob Moss struck the motherlode. Covers everything home users need and more than justifies the price tag."

New Customer Reviews of Home Accountz

I purchased Personal Accountz, having tried various packages to help me organise various financial accounts, and found it simple to use and yet very comprehensive. Not having any prior accounting (or even book keeping) experience, I found myself asking a couple of very basic questions at the beginning, in spite of the availability of an excellent User Manual. I was surprised to get an immediate and friendly response, without being made to feel that I should have spent more time reading the documentation.

Having made extensive use of the package over the past 8 months, I came across what I felt was a slight problem and phoned the support desk – it was agreed that I could send a screen dump to best illustrate the problem. I did this and was astonished to receive a phone call within 15 mins [from Umesh], explaining why the problem occurred (it was caused by the way I had made one particular entry). Of course, I have now upgraded to Home Accountz - fortuitously, on the very day it was released!

Having spend thousands of pounds on computer software over the years, I can honestly say that I’ve never received anything even approaching this degree of customer support before, nor such excellent value for money. What an amazing company, with such friendly staff! - Dr Bill Allen

I am at present trialling Home Accountz having been using Personal Accountz. I think the "payee" section is great. It is similar to MS Money (but better). - Fred Friend

For years now I've been searching for a straight forward software package to look after my home accounts. I've tried many packages, but most are too complex (probably intended for things more inclined toward business activities). You have come up with the goods. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys looking after their own money particularly if it includes a variety of holding such as, bonds, ISA's savings and current accounts. Perhaps something to track shares in the future? Thanks Accountz it's made my life more fun. - Colin F Brittain

As you will be aware my problem opening the June 7 version of HAZ has now been resolved by your excellent team - thank you so much for all the help given. As I have said on the User Forum, I am absolutely certain that this software will be a great success ..... Microsoft Money and Quicken can indeed be things of the past and the UK can benefit from your efforts ! - RobC (surname withheld on request)

Can I just say Home Accountz has arrived and it is a very good package. Having now had a week to get used to it I am finding it an excellent tool, it is easy to master and once you have grasped the basics easy and intuitive to use. A vast improvement over personal accountz. Having used both Quicken and Microsoft Money in the past - Home Accountz is far far superior, well done. - Richard (surname withheld on request)
