So far the program seems pretty good. It takes getting used to, of course! Unsure about how a couple things will really work out, like splits, but again, it's just getting used to the difference from what we were used to. So glad you put this together, though. It would have taken us ages and it probably wouldn't have been as thorough!
Hi Alexis,

Hoped for extra
I hoped for extra, but was told no. I have no doubt George could provide what I asked, but declined. Didn’t even offer to provide it for an additional fee. (Which I would’ve paid because I’m a small business owner too). As for his product…. It looks awesome and would be well worth the $ for an individual.
Hi Keevan,
I appreciate your kind words about the budget software. I regularly release new versions with great new money management features. Many of the new features have been requested by customers just like you. So instead of making specific software customizations for each customer request, I try to include the best feature requests from customers in the new versions that will be available for all customers. Please see link below for a side-by-side comparison of the different versions of Georges Budget for Excel:

Customers praised this Excel-based financial tracking tool as "thorough" and "easy to use" for balancing checkbooks, managing multiple accounts, and tracking spending. Shoppers appreciated the automatic calculations, reports, and graphs. Some noted a learning curve and suggested improvements like multi-currency support, customization options, and easier version transitions.

Wish you could highlight some cells for drawing an eye back to a cell
Thank you for the 5-star review! Depending on your Excel version, another option to highlight a cell is to add a comment or note to a cell. This allows you to attach information to a cell that is independent of the cell contents / values, and it adds a colored indicator to the cell with the comment / note so that you can spot them. With Excel comments, you can even add a threaded / reply like discussion.

Meh
It's a good idea in theory but lacks what I was looking for in a budget. If something could be created to allow for zero based budgeting in addition to the current product, that would be great.

Does the Job
Its really a nice ledger to work to keep track and get your budget and spending numbers. Just keep in mind the whole workbook is locked so its not customize-able at all. I would like in the next revision is the ability to have more than 10 accounts. I would also like to add some sheets to the workbook pertaining to 401K tracking and mortgage accounts with a payoff early calculator. Also having the ability to add and store PDF bank statements into the workbook would be nice also. Still its nice to use and the price is right.

The prefect tool for me
I am a stickler for details but have no time working in the medical field. Georges Budget for Excel is perfect for me. In one convenient place I can track all of my finances. All of the calculations are made automatically and the newest version even has tables and graphs to track my spending. I use this to track not only my checking account but investment accounts, 401s & ROTH IRA. I was using version 3 since 2016 and am blown away by version 12!

Nice Software
This is a nice product which helps in tracking my savings and expenses. Improvements listed below should be adopted:
1. Currency code should be multi-currency.
2. Category drop down list should be larger in size.
3. Ability to transfer my transactions from previous version(s) seamlessly.

Haven't Used Because I'm not Sure How to Transition from Previous Version
As the title says. I haven't used this newer version because I"m not sure how to save and transfer my data from Version 10.
Love it Wish it had a (hyperlink) box to fill in to get yo my bank

Just What I've Been Looking For
I love that you can track so many different accounts and cash. I haven't gotten to the budget feature yet. My only suggestion, at this point, is it would be nice if the text on the category drop down list were larger (same size as the rest of the text).
