Quicken users???

i have been using quicken for years.

 

dmg... You might also look into Quick Books, they have a free version, Simple Start, that will do everything except keep a product inventory or payroll. It is not a limited trial or a scaled back venison.

 

I've been using QuickBooks for several years now. I think its just the business version of Quicken.

 

LMAO! dmg, your avatar is hilarious!! My dad would have gotten a kick out of that.

 

i have used quicken to track expenses with the boats and trucks for years
5 minutes after the january bank statment comes in I am ready for the accountant

 

Just do yourself a major favor.

Keep the expense catagories simple. Do not try to be detailed on the ones you use.

 

Roadmedic, I am also in the process of using Quicken 2012 Home & Business. Can you tell me if I am on the right track here? I created a separate cash expense account for each of the following; Accounting, Communication, Fees, Fuel, Insurance, and 9 other categories. Basically I copied what Kevin Rutherford said to do for his "Profit Gauges" online program, or at least I'm trying to. I am completely ignorant on this subject, but I can't stand the thought of someone else doing something that I can do myself...eventually. Any help you, or anyone else, can offer would be greatly appreciated!

 

If you are a self employed person, go to the IRS form schedule C and look at how they have the expenses. Keep yours in basically the same.

I have a client that separated all of the maintenance by type. Bedding maintenance. Radio Maintenance, Tire maint etc....

I finally got him to just make an entire section called that and put it in the section with a sub total. Makes the return a much easier endeavor.
