Personal Checkbook Advantage

The better you manage your budget, the higher chances of success when running a business, but even for personal development. In this regard, various specialized applications like Personal Checkbook Advantage are at your disposal, with a large set of tools to keep a close eye on funds, accounts, as well as business associates.

On the visual side of things, the application comes with no shiny elements, and little effort was put into aesthetics. However, this isn’t a bad thing, given that the interface is neatly organized, makes accommodation quick, and areas easy to access, figure out, and use.

To get an idea of what can be done, there’s a sample account already filled in with most operations at your disposal. Don’t get discouraged, because adding and managing an account isn’t as difficult as it seems, even though the abundance of windows you can end up with on the dashboard make it slightly difficult.

There’s no actual order in which you’re asked to write details. Every one you access brings up a new window with a table view of values, structured in different size specifications, depending on column headers. Editing is done on the spot, making the whole process fast.

Data is linked across all areas, so the more info you write down, the easier it is to fill the rest. As such, you get to manage accounts, categories, payees, recurring transactions, general preferences and a few more. Unfortunately, there aren’t any import options, and backup or export is either done through printing, or under the application’s specific format.

Since the core function is management of funds, you need a periodic analysis of performance. This can be done through reports, which you either trigger from a specific management area, or from their own menu. Data selection is easy, with simple criteria options, and neat preview of result.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Personal Checkbook Advantage is a practical funds management solution, suitable for both personal and business activities and transactions. The overall design might look confusing and overwhelming after a while, but it’s intuitive enough, to keep the whole process smooth and efficient.
