no accounting software more reliable and profitable then Quicken. While this

tricks through which a user can improve upon their productivity.
Before we begin, rest
assured that these ways are applicable for both the novice and veteran users.

- Keyboard Customization: Implementation of customized keys for the ease of
access is something prevalent in every application out there. Though, when
it comes to Quicken, the matter seems to be a bit complicated. There is
nothing to worry though. But just a keystroke, you can alter the default
shortcuts as per your liking, Just press and hold on “1” key, and choose
the option you want to avail from the menu bar.
- Unshackle The Categories: if you seek to track your transactions, Quicken’s
categories are the ways to do it. While the default representation of
these categories is ergonomic, the truth is that they are not ergonomic
enough. Fortunately, there is a simpler way to deal with this; just remove
the categories not meant for your usage. Go to List -> categories
and transfers -> remove unused categories.
- Faster Calculation: Seeking fastest and the most precise calculations
without having to turn to the dashboard every time? Quickmath has got you
covered. This utility gives you a simplistic yet efficient paper-tape
calculator that allows you to have a quick-access for proper mathematical
function.

Classification: in case you need a more
personalized and customizable access to transactions, you can create
custom classes. Not only these classes are easier to access, but they also
allow users to categorize the tasks and attributes in a less hectic
manner.

Backups: While this attribute is not
particularly hidden, this is a utility that many users tend to ignore
either due to sluggishness or time constraints. Fortunately, Quicken
itself understands this and to that end, automates the entire process.

– Preferences -> navigate to File Backup Pane -> choose the backup
location. Being Mac user, you can store these files in the iDisk
as well. This exclusive storage space allows you not only to store the
files, but password-protect them as well.
