Have you asked? Sometimes while an app doesn´t have a function it might be supplied by third party add-ons, utilities, plugins, scripts, etc. There´s also Moneydance, which is cross-platform and loads MS Money and Quicken files. It is written in Java. I know it works very well. http://moneydance.com/other screenshot: http://moneydance.com/mac_graph_options Cons: it´s closed source. you must pay for it :) But seamless it´ll be, and cross platform as well (no need for VM or windows).
