Can this version provide simple financial statements? Income statement and balance sheet?

Yes, it can do all of the above. The biggest difference between this and Premium is that Pro is for one user only and it does not have "job costing". This answer is provided by Shirley Byard, Best Business Strategies.

Yes. It is very easy to use. Good for BASIC documentation and storage. Don't know if it will hold up to today's school work.

I just use quicken to write checks and balance my checkbook. I know there are many more features but I don't use them so I don't know the answer to your question.

You'd just be double inputting data. I use Quicken for all my finances and CBP for writing checks. It's easier and less convoluted. I write the check and just input the transaction in quicken.

Not sure. I don't use quickbooks. Is that something I can access with a download so I can try it out and get back to you?

DO NOT use Quickbooks unless you absolutely have to. I tried it, read 2 books, watched video training, and hired a Quickbooks trainer for 2 sessions to help me set up the software and STILL could not keep track of finances properly. Dual column accounting is nice if you are an accountant. If you are a regular human being, just use Quicken Home and Business. I have 3 employees plus myself. Quicken Home and Business does EVERYTHING I need it to do, and is a breeze to learn and use.

Yes, and previous weekly totals as well. Monthly totals are also available.

People who need it for personal taxes can use it. There is help for those with questions about their taxes but the financial advice part is less than with the deluxe version.

I use it for a purchased copy of Express Scribe... It would most likely work for basic versions as the software probably just has less features if it's a free version.

Our Merchant Bank wrote the program to download into our machine. It does prompt for Invoice # and PO # on our machine. You may ask your merchant account holder if they can write that into your program.

I have been using Quicken for about 10 years. It is generally OK, but not spectacular. If you are starting fresh and setting up new accounts, you'll probably be fine. But, the latest update from 2013 to 2014 has been very problematic for me, starting with One Step Update not working properly, and some strange entries being made all on it's own. Quicken tends to "fix" things that aren't broken. I might try Microsoft Money, or maybe some other accounting software if I was just starting out.

Yes. It can download all of your checking account activity. Where Quicken Essentials falls short is with investment accounts.

Yes, if you download an app (free). I have one called Documents to Go that works well.

Just make sure you get the right QuickBooks version (Windows) and it will run it just fine. For a low-priced machine, I like it.

Quickens website says it has a build-in converter for Money 2007 & 2008. No mention of earlier versions.

I'm working on a start-up, too. I find the software very intuitive and easy to use. Plus, it helps paint an accurate picture for potential investors to see your cost and revenue projections.
