Does anybody know anything about Quicken?
Permalink  

Quicken is the accounting software that seems to be most popular in the states, but it's quite expensive for a business start up. I don't want to spend/waste the money until I'm sure it's something that would actually be useful for me. Has anyone ever used this software, and if so, what are your opinions?

A few years ago the company I worked for used Quicken. We didn't really get on with it and subsequently changed to Sage. I know that Quicken has pulled out of the UK market now and stopped supporting the products in 2006.

You may want to look at QuickBooks, which I believe is popular in the US too. I think you can download a trial version, so it may be worth trying that first.

Best wishes!

Thanks for the info about Quicken. I took a quick look at it in a store and kind of sensed that it would be beyond my meager accounting abilities.

I will definitely be looking for QuickBooks, too, since you're about the third person that recommended them. smile

Thanks again!

I would not give up on it so fast. Its a bit overwhelmin but once you get through the basics the rest sort of falls into place. Also, I have seen a lot of community colleges and community center type places actually have workshops to teach you the basics.

I think I'll give QuickBooks a try first, since it sounds a little less intimidating. If that doesn't meet my accounting needs I may have to screw up my courage and give Quicken a try.
