Quicken 2009 Out Now!

The Quicken 2009 range has now been released.  Check out these great new and improved features.

 

Track outstanding invoices (Quicken Home & Business only)

Invoices can now be marked as paid, so clients can easily see what's outstanding. This functionality will make the move from old versions of Quicken CashBook to Quicken Home & Business compelling.

 

Track multiple business areas (Quicken Home & Business only)

Quicken 2009 introduces Tags - an improved and expanded version of Classes in earlier releases. By using Tags, clients can track different divisions of their businesses - transactions are tagged as they are entered, and reports, such as the Profit and Loss Report, can then be filtered based on the assigned Tag.

Business Centre (Quicken Home & Business only)

Using the new Business Centre, clients now have easy access to cash flow and account information and they can also view a dynamically updated profit and loss report whenever they need to. From the new Centre, they can also readily track their business's property and assets and have quick access to a wide range of business reports.

Updated FIDO Superannuation Calculator (Quicken Personal Plus and Home & Business only)

The Calculator has been updated to reflect the latest calculations and guidelines for Super Simplification.

Updated Quicken Tax Planner (Quicken Personal Plus and Home & Business only)

The Tax Planner includes new ATO rulings and updates for this financial year.

New Navigation and Account Bar

Using Tabs and the Account Bar, clients now have quick access to every area of Quicken from anywhere in the product.

My Savings Plan

Using My Savings Plan, clients can track their progress toward a savings target (such as planning the next vacation or buying a car).

Integration with Reckon Tools Backup

From within Quicken 2009, data files can be backed up online quickly and safely using Reckon Tools Backup (additional charges apply).

Reckon Reward Card Tracker

Track credit card reward schemes and point systems with the Reckon Reward Card Tracker. This allows clients to monitor current points and plan spending to maximise their rewards.

Carbon Footprint Calculator

Clients can use the Carbon Footprint Calculator to create an estimate of their current annual carbon footprint, based on consumption of petrol, electricity, air travel, and more. It also shows how the energy choices made can impact on their carbon bottom line - and save them money.
