General questions

1. Who may make use of it?
   

   This service is intended for personal finance accounting. Why, in general, waste time on that? First of all, you probably conduct at least some accounting (for example, tracking debts, your bank assets etc.) Organized accounting with the help of fin-ack can help you:

   • definetely judge your financial position and plan expenses
   • get to know the structure of yout expenses and income and its change in time
   • determine the concrete dates of some past financial events (can be useful, for example, in resolution some conflict situations or )

   Our system will be quite useful for enterpreneurs, who anyway need some mechanism of finance tracking and analysis, but don't want to mess up with heavyweight software solutions.

   If you already perform your finance accounting with the help of other programs, we give you an opportunity to import the collected data.

   
   
2. What features does fin-ack have?
   The basic modules of our system are:
   • Accounting: cashflow and assets/liabilities tracking, payment calendar, budgeting, accounts/currencies/categories/tags management
   • Analytics: balances, different statistics, graphs
   • Mobile client
   • Support functions: help system, import/export etc.
   
   
3. What differentiates us?
   

   Fin-ack use can give you such benefits:

   • in comparison to PC software (Excel, Gnu Cash, MS Money etc): safekeeping of your data and a possiility to access them from any place of the world (at home and at work, on the road etc.)
   • in comparison to PDA software: once again data safekeeping and advanced analytical opportunities (while keeping the opportunity to access the service from the mobile device)
   • in comparison to other web-sevices: ease of use and better flexibility, mobile clients, as well as know-hows in tracking and analysis: assets/liabilities tracking, your own currencies and some features, which are under development (interesting graphs and statistics). And besides, an understandable bussiness model, protecting confidentiality of your data. In this system we want to realize one of the fundamental principles of Web2.0: that it becomes better with the more people who use it.

5. Why pay?
   
   
6. What are the paid services?
   

   First of all, for the 3 months after you register you will be able to use all the functions of the system. This is done to ensure, that you won't be made to 'buy a pig in a poke'. After this period elapses the use of mobile clients and part of the advansed analytical functions will become paid services. The basic accounting system will always be free, so if its functions will suffice you, you won't need to be concerned about paying at all.
