Thanks Wayne. I went to Staples and found out they only carry the PC version. One other member recommended it in Dec and I am awaiting the funds to purchase it. Like many here, I like to do for myself but some tasks are too daunting to begin with. Maybe Mac Outpost will have it.

Unless you are thoroughly familiar with spreadsheets and have some basic bookkeeping experience, setting up your own program is not for you. I have done it, but only because I started well before accounting software was available for Mac. If you have someone do it for you, you will be at their mercy forever. Excel or Numbers have templates for personal finances up to the cheque register stage, but that won't satisfy the Feds (no sense of humour at all).
