Quicken or Quikbooks??

I am not sure if this has been posted as a topic but I am interested to see if what software you guy's use to manage a bands finances? I know Quicken is nice but what about Quickbooks? It is pretty powerful It has payroll options and probably more than you need but I would imagine a band is like any other business.

I use Quicken for my personal finances, and use Quickbooks at work to manage our company's books.

Quickbooks is meant for small to medium-sized businesses - it's features are configured for transactions that small businesses do frequently - accounts payable/receivables, payroll processing, asset/depreciation, loan amortization, etc. Quicken's features is configured for individuals - checking accounts, savings accounts, 401K balances, personal income tax estimation, etc.

They're both the same price (I think)- around $79 for full versions. If you're using it to manage a band's finances, I would go for Quickbooks - it may be overkill for you now, but if your band's finances really start to get big/complicated, it's a royal pain in the ass to switch budgeting programs.

Thanks I kind of thought that. I have it here at work but have not used as of yet but I though it would bea good idea. They have Pro and Premier editons for both those programs.
