where is the link to the actual download?
This is a summary post. All of them have been linked to their respective reviews, which have the download links.
I think there are better solutions available today than listed above. I have a small consulting business and working with installed version was always a challenge. Many times, I wanted to work from home or just send an invoice to the client right after finishing the project. I looked for cloud hosted solution and now use SlickPie. There are many more like them like QuickBooks Online, Sage One and even Xero which I found to be too expensive. I think days of a downloaded software are limited, at least for smaller businesses. I can still see some value for bigger firms in having an installed software.
I use Geltbox money -automatic download from any website (banks,cerdit cards) , high level of security (Your financial data is securely stored and encrypted only in your personal computer),
