Houston Accountant Tip: Quicken Deluxe on the Cheap!

Have you always meant to get Quicken for your business but didn’t have the time or money to shop around for it? Today is the perfect day for it! Quicken Deluxe by Intuit is selling for the low price of $30 on Amazon.com. It is unsure how long this price will last, so go today. A few items before you buy, though…

The price listed is for Prime members only. Prime members on Amazon get loads of perks including free shipping, special offers, free streaming media, and more. However, Houston Accountantit comes with a price tag of $80 yearly. But if you read lots of Kindle books, watch streaming media, and shop regularly at Amazon, the price tag can be well worth it.

Not a Prime Member and not interested in becoming one? There’s a solution for that. You may join as a Prime Member and have 30 days to cancel your membership before you are on the hook for the dues. It is also well worth it as the price for the software jumps to $170 for non-Prime Members. The $30 price tag is also a low by $20 from other sites that often offer software on the cheap.

And of course, this is a business expense, so you are free to write off the expense of both the software and the Prime membership should you choose to keep it. As a Houston accountant and bookkeeper I recommend this software!

A little more on Quicken:

    1. It is a common tool for business owners from small to large because it can organize all your accounts in one software including banks, credit cards, checking, etc. It creates charts and graphs of all your spending. You can use it to create and stick to a budget. And of course, it can help with all your tax info which is appreciated by your humble Houston accountant.

    2. Never used it before? The software is remarkably easy to install and set up. You’ll find the time you spend learning the software is far less than the time it saves you. But if you’re still unsure about if you can use it or not, no worries. It comes with a 60 day money back guarantee.

    3. Already own a previous version? You’ll want to know what’s new in 2014. A few features include snap & store to keep track of receipts and reduce paper clutter with the simple click of an image. You can store warranties, track deductions, charitable donations, and other things you want to record. Just capture the receipt (and even images) through the Quicken 2014 mobile app and it will attach to the specific transaction. It also offers mobile syncing and bill reminders.

    4. Already own the Starter version? This deluxe version allows you to store loan, investment, and retirement accounts. Use it to create a custom debt reduction plan, a plan to meet retirement goals, and auto transfers of your existing data.
