- As April 15 -- our national day of financial
- "wreckoning" -- once again creeps up on us, do you
- find yourself surrounded by scraps of paper and
- financial anxiety? If so, it's time to turn your
- trusty Macintosh into a powerful tool for
- record-keeping order and financial profit.
-
- Below are samples of some of the useful finance-
- and business-related files you can download from
- the Macintosh RoundTable Library. Searching the
- Library using keywords such as TAX, FINANCE, MONEY,
- and BUSINESS, will reveal yet more useful files to
- meet general and specialized needs alike. Some of
- the files cataloged here are stand-alone
- applications, while others are templates for
- commercial programs such as Excel, ClarisWorks, and
- FileMaker.
-
- Personal Finance
-
- Many of the most useful finance-related files come
- from GEnie user H.LECTOR. He describes MONEYTRACK
- 1.0 (file #27991) by saying: "Tax time is made easy
- with MoneyTracker. It's so simple (none of that
- asset/liability stuff that the major programs place
- you through). MoneyTracker tracks each expense by
- category (medical, unreimbursed business,
- auto/home, utilities, personal, spouse personal,
- and others) and, at the end of each year or other
- set time period you simply hit the button marked
- "summary" and BAM, out comes the report by
- category. Your accountant will love you. This is a
- limited access version requiring a nominal fee for
- encoded full access." This one requires FileMaker.
-
- ClarisWorks owners should definitely take a look at
- the two-file set in #29600 FINANCE.01.SIT and
- #29690 FINANCE.02.SIT. These collections include a
- variety of templates for checking, insurance
- analysis, net worth, capital gains, personal
- property management, education funding, and much
- more.
-
- Comprehensive Package
-
- The FileMaker Pro applications collected in CORIE!
- 2.0V8.SIT provide a comprehensive solution to
- managing personal and business records. These
- interconnected programs work together to help you
- access, exchange, and locate information quickly,
- easily, and automatically.
-
- These applications include help, hardware/software
- record keeping, contacts, correspondence, image
- database, home and business inventory, note taking,
- scheduling, area codes, and video library
- management.
-
- You will also find valuable discussions of personal
- finance and business management programs in
- Categories 2 and 12 of the Macintosh RoundTable
- Bulletin Board. For example, Category 2, Topic 13,
- "Small Business Software," provides lively
- discussions (and sometimes pungent comparisons) of
- various small business accounting programs and
- databases from people who literally have their
- businesses on the line with a Macintosh.
