There is also Kapital from The Kompany 
(http://www.thekompany.com/products/kapital/ ). As far as I know, it is not a 
free product, but it is developped by a company, which contributes to KDE 
free software projects. I have never tried the program, but I think there was 
a test in a German Linux magazine a while ago. It is not that expensive, 
either.
