When it comes to tracking income, expenses, debt, investments, and even taxes, it can become quite a challenge to keep on top of everything. Thankfully, there are a lot of great software solutions that can make this process easier and more accurate. Whether your financial needs are simple or complex, there is a solution out there for you.

Online Applications

An increasingly popular option is directly through web-based applications. The benefits of using an online application is that you don't need to install any special software and you can access your information from any computer. For those of you who travel a lot or use multiple computers, this can save a lot of headaches. One of the newest applications in this arena is Quicken Online. Shelley Elmblad, your guide to Financial Software, has an excellent in-depth review of Quicken Online.

Here are a few other online financial applications:

• Intuit TurboTax Online
• Mint Online Money Management
• eFinPLAN

Traditional Software Options

If you aren't ready to manage your finances online, you can still stick with one of the many traditional software options that are available. While you may not have the flexibility of accessing your information from any computer, you can keep your data very secure on your personal computer and generally backup or export data to use elsewhere. I have put together my top picks for personal money management software to highlight some of the most popular options.
