Financial
Management Software
The use of financial management software will give you better
control of your saving and spending. Using financial management software such as
Quicken or Microsoft Money you can better manage and control your finances.
Quicken 2008 Home & Business will be demonstrated to provide some techniques
to assist in making your money work for you, not you working for your money.
Quicken loads with a variety of wizards to help
you get setup and running right away. I suggest making a practice
file before creating your permanent file. It will be assumed that
financial management software can be installed and setup by the end
user.
Topics to be covered:
Configuring Quicken for You
Setting Up Categories & Groups
Scheduled Bills & Deposits
Creating a Budget
Setting Up Online Services
Reports
Running and Understanding Reports
The Spending Report and Results
Quicken Home Inventory
Backing Up Your Data
Making the commitment to use a financial management software can
be tedious in the beginning and takes a real commitment. In time the
software becomes intuitive and you will spend less time managing
your finances.
