Better but still hard to read - I think we'll need to work on this later.
Maybe something like,

(*) Note balance is not per page, but per entry

Not sure what you mean - but what is there is sufficient (btw, no need
for the + or -, the green and red would do and they should only be used
on the amounts, not names, etc :-)

To be completely hones that second link above is the ideal thing to
see, but we dont't have horizontal space to do that - so its no big.
We can always reformat the data for look later to please the eye.

One minor thing to note - there is no modify option to those entries
already in the db (once logged-in).  It would be nice to have the
option to delete and/or modify an entry in case a error was noticed.

A quickie bug - if you do a show "5" view on things note how the
"Balance total in account" is inconsistent from page to page (click
on previous/next) - this should be corrected as it should always
note the absolute balance in the account taking all dates into
consideration.

Future thoughts - it would nice to have the ability to see per month,
per year views but that is not needed now.  Another thing to consider
is the ability to store-off receipt so that whenever a person clicks
on a withdrawal entry in the finance page a scanned receipt is
presented (with the appropriate upload form when entering transactions,
etc).

Once the above bug/typeo/oddity is fixed - do please make available a
patch for us to incorporate.

Thanks again and sorry for the delay.

Salam.

 - Nadim
