Quicken Essentials is easy to use, easy to understand, and functional. I’m really delighted to learn that Intuit developed Quicken Essentials from the ground up for Macintosh OS X. Typically accounting and money programs are first developed for a Windows operating system. It’s quite nice to have simple yet effective financial management software that isn’t bloatware.
