My name is Clay Gibney, but I often go by my nickname, Logan. I’ve been a fan of Microsoft Excel and spreadsheets for over 30 years. I began working in the technology field in 1984, and starting in the early 90’s, Quicken was my go-to-program for 15 years for managing my checkbook and bank accounts. But eventually I tired of the constant upgrades and hassles, so I decided to abandon Quicken and manage my bank accounts in Excel.
But after searching and testing lots of different checkbook register templates (including the lame ones from Microsoft!), I decided to create my own. Eventually I chose to share my Excel Checkbook Register spreadsheet with the world for free, but the costs to host a website and maintain it all became cost prohibitive. So in 2024, I launched this website as the central hub for my Excel Checkbook Register templates and other free downloads.
As a now former Quicken user, who hated the $72/year fee they charge for the privilege of getting an app for mobility, I wish there were 10 stars instead of 5 for this software - it's well deserved. I've been trying out various alternatives and have never found anything sufficient for my needs. Until now! This software is so well thought out. It does everything I need in a register without being bloated. Nice interface, and I am extremely impressed with how much documentation and how-to videos there are behind the software. WAY beyond what you expect for software in this category. The software reflects how important customer satisfaction is. Customer Support is beyond belief. I have only just bought it and already, I'm excited to push DEL on my Quicken software. This gets HUGE thumbs up for flexibility and reliability as well as over the top customer support. You won't be sorry you bought it. I've never written this glowing of a review before (and I've written many) - it's worth every penny.
Thank you Cheryl! You made my day!
Thanks
If I could reach through this internet connection I’d kiss you right on the lips! I have been looking desperately for an easy to use checkbook program for a small group that wouldn’t break the bank AND that a novice Excel user could relate to. I did try to get fancy one time and wiped out part of my page, but with a small nudge from my Excel expert kids, everything is now back to rights.
I absolutely recommend this product, especially for those old folks like me that need an easy to use, but very useful, checking accounting program. 5 Stars!
I recently purchased your spreadsheet Excel Checkbook 2025 Version. Can't tell you how pleased I am with the product. It works GREAT for me and I like it waaaay more than Quicken. I am a Rideshare/Gig worker so I can keep track of my work easily and keep track of my checking accounts and other investments. Just wanted to say thank you for your product.
I have successfully, finally, downloaded the 2025 new version. Any problems I had in downloading were of my own doing! This checkbook has been an answer to my prayers! I have not used it for my personal checkbook; however, and planning to do so this year. The new version is for a very small foundation that doesn’t need all the bells and whistles that every other option I checked has. It is just what I need. Thanks for your kind, patient help!
“This is my 4th year using your check book register. Still love it.”
“This is amazing!!! I downloaded your template, and it’s fantastic! It was really, really nice of you to share this. May God bless you for your kindness!“
