Quicken Classic Business & Personal - Personal Finance Software | 1 Year

I come from Quickbooks (old Mac version) and thought I can do the same as I did in the past in Quicken. I bought the Classic Business %26 Personal desktop version. It came on time, installation was pretty straight forward. I am glad I didn't enter any personal or payment information during the setup. Once I started to map my business accounts I quickly run into issues: I couldn't enter the ledger structure I had in Quickbooks. I run an small family office and have diverse investments incomes and business expenses. That all rolls up into my personal tax return via the llc tax return. I tried to add some income accounts, but they tend to show up constantly under "personal". Wasn't able to figure that out. I tried to move some preprogrammed income accounts over to the business side, that didn't work either. In the end I came to the conclusion that this version of Quicken isn't for me. I don't have a complicated structure at all. But I need to accomodate the cpa with my general ledger (not available), the balance, income statement for the llc totally separate from any personal information. Any hint of crossing business / personal wouldn't be good. So, I returned it (overall expense $85.98) and bought the Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2024 Lifetime for $263.50. Obviously more, and I might run out of support after 2027 as Quickbooks stops supporting desktop versions. At least I can add/change accounts, have a general ledger etc. Quickbooks is expensive, I don't like subscriptions but I had to move forward as I need to get ready for TR 2025.
