Microsoft Money type program

I've just changed my Fathers computer to Windows 10 x64 as the old one finally gave up and died. He used to use GSP Money Matters which was 16 bit and worked on an x32 OS, I managed to get it working in Windows 7 x32 with some tweaking.

I remember there being Microsoft Money many years ago that by all accounts (pun intended) was almost identical to GSP Money Matters.

Is there something now that would offer similar functionality? I'm sure just something in Excel could do it, I just don't have the time, patience or entire knowledge of how to create this, and Google seems to be failing me and only offering links to forums from 10+ years ago.

Thanks, I've downloaded it, next I'll install it on his PC and he can test it out and make a decision on it...

Sorry for the lack of updates on this, I've left the suggestions with him and he will be trying them and seeing which one is best for his needs. I would go with MS Money but that's mainly as it's the only one I've heard of before, it would though be pointless for me to decide on his behalf, I may suggest something that would be completely useless for his requirements.

I've never properly used any of these programs, but the way I understand it is that they make it easier to see various accounts in one go and make planning/forecasting a lot easier and simpler.
