Nakagava Ltd. has released PiggyBob® Premium Edition v. 3, a simple-to-use Windows personal time and finance manager. You don't need to learn double-entry bookkeeping to take control of your income and expenses. PiggyBob® lets you use simple data entry screens, reports, and charts to get your personal finances in order.

PiggyBob® is designed to help people who are not comfortable with accounting systems, or with computer systems of any type. The user interface couldn't be simpler. The charts and reports are easy to use. You can select groups of income and expense categories, and view your finances on-screen or in print. Bar charts and pie graphs show you your financial status clearly and colorfully. The built-in reports let you examine your finances at the detail level.

It's easy to set up income and expense categories. Simply fill in the popup boxes with the names of your categories of income and expenses, and the system keeps track of all of your finances.

The built-in calendar lets you keep track of daily, weekly, and monthly events. The impact of upcoming financial events is factored into the reports and charts of your income and expenses. Simply schedule upcoming payment or invoice due dates, automatic deposits, automatic bill payments, or monthly fees. The calendar system includes an alarm clock and an alert system. In addition to planning for future financial events, you can use the calendar to track anniversaries, meetings, and appointments. You can view daily, weekly, monthly, or annual calendars online, or print them for your desk or refrigerator.

Whether you're a home computer user who wants a simple way to keep track of your budget, a parent who wants to teach your children financial responsibility, a student who needs to accurately forecast your expenditures and limited resources, or a small business owner who needs to manage the impact of upcoming changes to income or expenses, PiggyBob® has the tools that you need.
