What's your favorite financial software?
I'm trying to decide on financial software that I can use with multiple accounts, stock tracking, bank account record updating, etc.
What programs do you like and use? (MYOB FirstEdge, Quicken 2004, iBank, MoneyDance, iCash, others?)
I think many Mac users are at a loss in finding good software in this area.

Bank accounts, tracking stocks and mutual funds (with automatic price updating). It will download statements from banks, creditcards, brokerage accounts... though I don't use that feature.
I have never used the other programs, so I can't really compare it. Another advantage is that if you take the time to set it up right, Quicken integrates very nicely with TurboTax ... (I do them myself and then take that information to the tax accountant to tweak stuff and make sure everything I claim is legal.)

MS Excel does everything for me. It's so customisable and I can make it do everything I need in terms of personal financing.
How did you get Excel to track stocks? Did you create some kind of RSS feed?

bad news: they all suck. Quicken is pretty bad. I wish there was Money for the Mac.
I've been saying this for years

Pretty sweet... You might want to check and see what your bank supports.
Might have a look at iBank, but Quicken can with my computer, so I was inclined to use it.
