    Hi,

    I want to get software that I can use to sort out my finances - I would really like one that can connect to the Bank Of Ireland to get my current balances so that I can see my current financial situation uptodate at any time - i.e. it would pull my balance from the bank every-so-often and I would be able to add invoices and bills to it etc. It would be for personal and business at the same time. If you know of none that connect to Bank Of Ireland then one that will connect to any other bank operating in Ireland as I would probably change banks to suit.

    Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance.

    Hmmmm! I got TasBooks years back - it was a pile of ****. Unless someone else would like to comment positively on it's more recent versions performance - I'd say avoid it like the plague.

    Bank of Ireland banking 365 is Ok-ish.
    For business they have Banking On Line which ain't bad.

    For accounting packages, Ecehequer and Sage are Ok, Microsoft Great Plains and Sun Accounts great festering piles of partially upgraded 1970's manure.

    Would have been dependent on the version. We recommend to almost all our clients. The new Tas Books 2 range is quite good. Sage Line 50 has a bit too much in it for the op I think.

    Never used it, but for personal use GNUCash could be what you're looking for. Don't think it'd be able to connect to BOI to update your balance (altough you never know), but that's a really bad idea accounting practice-wise. What you really should do is check the software's balance against your actuall balance periodically to do a reconcilliation, i.e. track down why the balances are different to see what you didn't enter into your software and put it in.

    edit: GNUCash = free, so that's a good start to managing finances :)
