Money Desktop in the Press

MoneyDesktop received mention in the press this morning.  Click here to see  us on Yahoo! News.

Here’s an excerpt:

Most financial management programs focus only on the past, allowing users to see the mistakes that were made but failing to provide insight on the current situation. MoneyDesktop helps users identify their immediate financial needs and prepare for the future.

In addition to the budgeting features traditionally included in financial planning software, MoneyDesktop offers new ways for the everyday user to take advantage of saving strategies. Their collection of expert tools helps users manage their financial future by running interest-comparison scenarios, evaluating the impact of potential purchases, or applying one of many debt management techniques.

MoneyDesktop is also the only personal financial management program to offer:
* Debt prioritization. Users save on interest and get out of debt sooner by sorting their bills by greatest priority.
* Mortgage acceleration. The included mortgage acceleration suite, sold elsewhere for $3,500 or more, helps homeowners pay off their home loans in half or even a third of the time.
* Money-saving incentives. Discounts on utilities and shopping deals let users save even more.

“There are a lot of financial planning programs out there,” said MoneyDesktop President Seth Risenmay. “But, we wanted to create something different. MoneyDesktop not only helps clients see where their money is going, it helps them make smart financial decisions.”
