Financial software advice

I use Quickbooks for various non-profits and have use Quicken in the past. I find they work best if you don't use them properly!

I set up all my budget lines as customer/jobs. Works a treat and I can produce all the reports I need very easily. I don't import data, though, but my point is if you dick about with the way you organize your data, you will probably be able to find a way to make stuff work.

I like Quickbooks better than Quicken. I inherited both so I have no idea of the cost comparison. I have only used the old version of Quicken, so I can't help you with that specifically.

Really I'm not much use at all, but I would help if I could.

I think beest uses excel to manage our personal finances.
