What version best for our needs

aycockjda · December 2020

We have used quickbooks pro for years to operate personal plus 3 companies. Nearing retirement so downsizing dramatically. Can I access multiple versions of quicken- one for each company- from the same device and email account? Is the single email account going to complicate sign in.

Hi @aycockjda,

You can setup virtually any number of Quicken datafiles with a single user account (which includes a single email address). One datafile would be used for each company and then you can add datafiles for each individual (or a joint account) depending on your choice. Bt you might want to use Quicken Hone & Business, because that gives you the full array of features -especially for the business datafiles.

The data is kept in a data file, not the program. You can have as many data files as your disk drive can hold. I'm guessing that in your case, you would have 4 data files, the personal data file and 3 company data files.

NOTE: there is no conversion process from Quickbooks and Quicken, you would be starting off fresh in each file.
