Matthew McGinley, Elite Personal Accountant Matthew McGinley was the creator and publisher of Elite Personal Accountant, financial management software for the Atari computer. He released it in mid-1985 after working on it for several years. The review of Elite Personal Accountant by Stephen Roquemore in Antic magazine said, "This new program from a small company has just about every capability built into it that anyone could dream up.

As many as nine credit cards are handled separately, but counted as liabilities. There are 17 different transaction codes available.
