FINANCE MANAGER

FINANCE MANAGER is a small yet productive application that comes in handy to those who want to keep an eye on their personal finances. The app comes with a login system, which lets you make and manage multiple accounts.

The installation process is fast and needs only a few clicks to be completed. It's advisable to have Java present on the computer or updated to the latest version if it's already installed.

The interface is plain and clear, consisting of three main tabs: "Details", "Income" and "Expenses". Each panel contains several other sub-categories (e.g. personal, job, finance).

FINANCE MANAGER requires you to log in with your credentials to access its features. To do so, you have to create a new account by filling in the full name, gender, email and phone number, as well as the company name, manager, work email, position, balance funds and salary. A password needs to be inputted.

Once you set all the details up, you can enter as many expenses and incomes as necessary by entering the amount of money you paid or received and from who.

The log can be opened in Microsoft Excel. It would've been a great perk if the app came with a built-in list of all the records as well as filtered on expenses and incomes.

Plus, the provided fields are too few and thus hard to personalize. FINANCE MANAGER could've come with details, such as date, category (e.g. entertainment, bills, vehicles, medical, shopping), payee name and additional comments. What's more, there is no export function to save the database to XLS or CSV and further edit them into another external program.

The bottom line is that FINANCE MANAGER is a straightforward piece of software designed to offer simple ways to easily add and manage private expenses and incomes. During our testing, the app could not be closed through the "X" button, and we had to end the task from the Task Manager.
