Quicken Business Program

[oceanlovin'ea]

I was looking for an inexpensive bookkeeping program the other day. In Staples I noticed that Quicken now has a business program. Has anyone used this program?

I have just a few bookkeeping clients and have been using Taxslayer's bookkeeping program. But it still has very limited capacities. I got an error message Monday night and lost all that I had entered for one client and it deleted several other accounts. Fortunately, I back up every time I do anything in the program.

Quick Books is too expensive for me right now. My son-in-law is expanding his side business from just auto performance accessories to include a detailing service. I want to be able to distinguish between the income and expenses from the two departments and give him information to help in expansion. If this goes as well as he expects, my daughter will not have to go back to work after she has their second baby in October. If it goes really well, he may be able to quit his "day" job and work for himself in a job he loves doing.

Thanks for your imput.

Linda, It is Quicken Premier Home & Business. You can keep track of personal as well as business expenses. It is a good program for the money to track income and expenses of a small business. Current version is 2005, there will be a new version out in Dec or January. Check on the internet and sometimes you can find a better price.

I have used Q H&B since 1999. Works well for small business and personal.

Quicken Premier

Thanks for your responses. I plan to try the program. If I don't like it, they will refund my money if I return it before 60 days is up.

I went back in Staples last night to purchase the program and none were on the shelves. I asked one of the salespeople. He said they took them off the shelf because the 2006 was due out. He said it should be in on Friday. So I will check then.

Just a second thought. Can you efile 941's with Quicken Premier?
