Quickbooks versus Quicken, which one is best for business and personal use?

For Managing Money Quickbooks or Quicken

Which one? I get that question weekly. My preference; for business Quickbooks is a must, but for managing personal finances Quicken if fine. Quicken is great for corralling your financial information and tax preparation, but those who need a more robust accounting and financial management program, Quickbooks offers more features that help businesses not just file their taxes at the end of the year but conduct business allowing them to maintain control over their finances throughout the year.  For a great summary of the difference check out this article at this link to help you decide which is the right choice for you.
