Personal finance software
Every account, any currency, one horizon.
WealthHorizon keeps a record of what you own and what you owe. Current accounts, savings, cards, mortgages, investments, pensions, property. It adds it all up and tells you what you are worth. It replaces Microsoft Money, and it runs in a browser on your phone, your tablet or your desktop.
There are four editions, and you install all of them on your own hardware. Free holds 30 accounts, 1,000 transactions and 5 MB. Standard, Pro and Advisory have no limit but the size of your disk. Pro adds long-term planning, tax and forecasting. Advisory is for regulated firms looking after client books.
What it does
Your accounts, your investments and your plan in one place
Most people end up keeping three things. A record of what went in and out. A spreadsheet of investments. Another spreadsheet for the plan. WealthHorizon holds all three, so a change in one shows up in the others straight away.
The register
One row per transaction, with a running balance after each one. To check against a statement you look for the row where the two stop agreeing. Splits, transfers between your own accounts, payees, categories and repeating payments all work the way they did in Money.
You can type the arithmetic into an amount box — 120+45.50+18 — and it works it out.
Your investments
Holdings are priced in the currency they are quoted in. Each purchase is tracked separately, so when you sell, it knows what that holding cost you. It also handles share splits, dividends, corporate actions, foreign withholding tax and an investment account’s own cash side.
An account with a missing price says so, rather than quietly reading short.
What it comes to
One net worth figure, with a panel underneath showing how it was worked out. Every account, its balance, the rate it was converted at and what that came to. If there is no rate for a currency, the figure stays in its own currency instead of being guessed at.
Snapshots record where you stood on a date, so the chart is a record, not a re-estimate.
Editions
Three editions, plus a free one to start with
Standard does what Microsoft Money did. Pro adds planning, tax and forecasting, which Money never did. Advisory is a different product altogether, for regulated firms, and it has its own section: The Advisory.
Standard — what Microsoft Money did, without the Windows
Standard is meant as a straight swap. If you kept your accounts in Money, the things you used every day are here, in the same shapes and under the same headings.
Your old file comes across. WealthHorizon reads .mny and
.mdb/.accdb files directly, as well as QIF, OFX, CSV
and Excel. It shows you what it found, account by account with the balances it
worked out, before anything is saved.
What Standard does not include. The long-term planner, the month-end funding plan, share price forecasts, inheritance tax and the capital gains tools are all in Pro. Nothing in Standard is time-limited or cut down, and there is no cap on accounts, transactions or storage. The only limit is the size of your disk.
In Standard
- Accounts of every kind — current, savings, credit card, loan, mortgage, investment, pension, property, vehicle — each with its own country, currency and tax wrapper.
- The register with a running balance, splits, matched transfers, payees, categories, and arithmetic in the amount box.
- Repeating payments — weekly to yearly, with the month laid out as a calendar of what is due.
- Investments — holdings, lots, prices, dividends, share splits and an account’s own cash side.
- Reports arranged under Money’s own headings: spending by category and by payee, comparisons between periods, account balances with detail.
- Imports from Money, QIF, OFX, Trading 212, Saxo, Barclays and any CSV or spreadsheet, with the columns mapped by you and a preview before it commits.
- Exports to CSV, Excel, QIF and OFX, per account.
- Multiple currencies, with each entry keeping the rate it was converted at.
- Backups you can schedule, encrypt and restore.
- Documents filed against an account — statements, contract notes, certificates.
- A Money 2005 skin — the navy rail, the blue banner, squared corners and Tahoma, as a third choice beside light and dark. The charts change colour with it. Nothing moves.
- Offline reading — what you have looked at stays on the device, with a line at the top saying when the figures were saved. Changes you make with no signal are held and sent in order once you are back.
- Renewals that hold the policy — who it is with, the number, the cover, what it cost and whom to ring, read out of the insurer’s letter if you paste it in.
- Nominees and readiness — name someone who can look at your accounts if you cannot, behind a waiting period and a code, and keep a checklist of what would be needed on the day.
- Household access — share an account with a partner, or give read-only access, and see who has looked at what.

Pro — everything in Standard, plus the questions Money could not answer
Money told you where you stood. Pro tells you where you are heading. Whether the plan works. What the month needs. What a holding might be worth. What the tax will come to.
Long-term planning
Build a plan and see it year by year. Say what you want to live on, and it works out how much of that your guaranteed income covers — state pension, defined benefit, earnings — then draws the rest from your pots, with enough extra to cover the tax. It tells you the first year you fall short, when each pot runs out, and what is left at the end.
There are three outlooks, what-if scenarios, and a Monte Carlo simulation that gives you a range instead of one line. You decide the order you spend your pots in, because that is a tax decision rather than a sum.
Month-end planning
The month before it happens. One row per account showing what it opens with, what comes in, what is due, its worst point, and whether it gets through. Then a worksheet of what to move from where, with the reason each source was picked and what else it looked at. The transfers are grouped by the bank you log into, so you make one visit per login rather than one per payment.
Share price forecasting
A grid of what you expect each holding to be worth. Instruments down the side, dates across the top, a price in each cell. A single growth rate cannot tell one company apart from another, and an unlisted holding has no market price at all, so a forecast is the only price it will ever have. Import the spreadsheet you already keep, and export it back.
Inheritance tax and capital gains
An estate valuation with the nil-rate bands applied and the sum shown line by line, a register of gifts against the seven-year rule, and the options worth thinking about. For capital gains it uses FIFO or the full UK matching rules: same day, then the following 30 days, then the pool. It brings in your unused losses and your allowance too.
In Pro, in addition to Standard
- Advanced Planner — outlooks, what-if scenarios, Monte Carlo, pensions, income streams with start and end years, inflation and retirement spending.
- Planning wizard — a guided fact-find that only asks the questions that apply to you, pre-filled from your accounts.
- FIRE mode — your FIRE number, savings rate, years to independence, Coast and Barista, and a bridge planner for the gap before pension access age.
- Roadmap and goals — goals on a timeline against your plan and your actual wealth, with the shortfall quantified.
- Month-end plan — the picture of the month, the transfer worksheet, the bank instruction list and a journal of what you decided to move.
- Monthly pack — where you stand, what is due, how the goals are going, in one printable run.
- Price forecast — per instrument, per date, imported and exported as a spreadsheet.
- Estate & IHT planner — liability, nil-rate bands, the seven-year gift register.
- Capital gains — FIFO or full UK matching rules, plus an optimiser that finds loss-harvesting opportunities.
- Dividend tracker — income by security and by account, with withholding tax and the year-on-year change.
- Tax workspace — calculator, allowances used and remaining, up to three jurisdictions side by side, residency day counts.
- Cash flow forecast — twelve months of inflows and outflows from your repeating items.
- Rebalancing and exposure — drift against target, and what you are exposed to by currency, geography and sector.
- Connections — Open Banking and a read-only Trading 212 link, both optional.
- Pension calculator — two questions, answered from the pensions you already hold, shown year by year, with every pot behind the figure listed.
- Months of cover — cash and savings against a month’s outgoings, on the home page, with both figures written underneath.
- Irish deemed disposal — the charge that falls every eighth year, worked out for each holding. Most other tools ignore it.
- Tax inside the forecast — the real bands for each year and country, capital gains on what you sell to live on, dividend tax by band, and a couple taxed as two people.
- Inheritance tax for every year — the estate, the nil-rate bands and their taper, business relief, unused pensions from 2027, and a gift plan with taper relief over seven years.
- Tax checks — a row per check and a column per year, so you see the year a problem arrives rather than the year it arrived.
- Scenarios — every assumption listed with where it came from, one-click questions worked out from your own figures, and a proper comparison of lifetime tax and first shortfall.
- Plan against actual — freeze a forecast as a baseline and check it against your own snapshots, year by year and pot by pot.
- No storage cap — as with Standard, the only limit is the size of your disk.
- Alerts and data health — price thresholds, net-worth thresholds, overdue items, stale prices and missing rates.

Advisory — a client book, and the records that go with it
The Advisory edition is for regulated firms. Every client gets the Pro product. The firm gets what sits above it: a management-information dashboard, a vulnerable customer register, fair value and charge assessments, suitability reporting, a firm hierarchy and an audit trail that cannot be edited.
It is built around the FCA Consumer Duty’s four outcomes: products and services, price and value, consumer understanding and consumer support. It also covers what the Duty asks a firm to do about them, which is watch for poor outcomes, act on them, and be able to show it did.
The Advisory edition has its own section of this site, with detail on each module and screenshots of the advisory, compliance and firm-hierarchy views.
In Advisory, in addition to Pro
- Client book — step into a client’s account. Every time you do, it is written to a log the client can read.
- Consumer Duty MI dashboard — outcomes, vulnerability, charges, reviews and complaints across the book.
- Vulnerable customer register — flag type, severity, support actions taken and review dates.
- Vulnerability scoring — an explainable score per client, with the contributing factors listed.
- Fair value and charge justification — value assessed by service tier and per client, RAG-rated.
- Annual review tracker — overdue, due soon and on track, with the review recorded when it is done.
- Risk assessment — an eight-question profile with a stated capacity for loss.
- Suitability reports — COBS 9.4 letters with a reference, generated from the client’s own file.
- Board report — the annual attestation across the four Consumer Duty outcomes.
- FCA evidence export — a structured supervisory pack in JSON and CSV.
- Platform overview and firm hierarchy — adviser performance side by side, and rolled up through CEO, MD, VP, Manager and Adviser tiers.
- Audit log — who looked at or changed what, and when. Only compliance can open it.
- Client portal — a branded, expiring, read-only view you can send a client.

Free edition
Start free, at 30 accounts, 1,000 transactions and 5 MB
Free is the Standard edition with three limits on it. Every feature is the real one. Nothing is a preview, a trial or a cut-down version.
It holds 30 accounts, 1,000 transactions and 5 MB of storage. For a household with a few current accounts, a couple of cards and an ISA, that is usually a year or two of records. When you reach one of the three, it tells you which. Nothing you have already recorded is removed or hidden. Moving to Standard lifts all three and leaves everything else as it is.
The 5 MB covers your records and any documents you file against an account, added together. If you do not attach documents you will hit the transaction limit first. If you do, you will hit the storage limit first, because a few scanned statements take up more room than a year of entries.
You install Free yourself, the same as the rest. It is the same three containers and the same install, and your data sits on your own machine from the first day. We do not run it for you, and we never hold your records.
The only difference is the three numbers. Standard, Pro and Advisory install in exactly the same way, and have no limit but the disk you give them.
There is no time limit and no card to enter. You can export your data at any point, in CSV, Excel, QIF or OFX, whichever edition you are on.

See what each edition holdsWhere it runs, and who can see it
Your data does not have to leave your building
You run it
You install every edition on your own hardware, Free included. The whole system is three containers: a database, an API and the web app. It will run on a laptop, a network drive at home, a server at the office, or any cloud you already use. There is nothing special about the hosting.
The only thing we run is a demonstration account, so you can look round the application before you install anything. It holds made-up figures. Your own records never touch our machines, on any edition.
It works offline
Market data, Open Banking and email are all optional. Set up none of them and it still works. You can type prices and exchange rates in yourself or import them, and nothing has to call home for the app to run.
You can see who looked
If your account is linked to an adviser, the Account Access page lists who at the firm opened it, when, and in what role. Sharing your plan with an adviser is a separate switch. You control it and you can turn it off.
None of this is financial advice. The planning, tax and inheritance tax tools produce projections from what you enter. They are there to help you think. They are not financial advice, not a personal recommendation and not a guarantee. The application says the same on the screens themselves: “Guidance, not advice. Check with an adviser before acting.” Tax rules change, markets move, and your own position may turn on facts the application cannot see. Take advice before you act on any of it.
