"My Savings Plan" Instantly Shows Where Money is Going;
    Makes Online Banking Tools Better

    EDMONTON, Oct. 30 /CNW/ - It's never been easier to manage your money.
Quicken(R), Canada's best-selling personal finance software lineup, has been
revamped for 2008, making it easier to manage personal and home business
finances - all from a single screen. Both Quicken 2008 Home & Business Edition
and the enhanced and updated Quicken 2008 Cash Manager are packed with tools
and features that help users see exactly where their money is going.

    Better Than Ever: Quicken 2008 Cash Manager

    Quicken is now even easier to use and features faster navigation. A new
feature for 2008, "My Savings Plan" makes it fast and easy for users to see
where they can increase their savings. My Savings Plan instantly shows a
summary of actual spending and compares it with planned monthly expenses, such
as gas and groceries. A simple click shows whether there's room to spend or if
it's time to save.
    New online banking features make it easy to obtain a complete financial
picture of all accounts. Quicken can download and compile records from a
user's bank accounts, tag transactions and clearly track spending by category.
In addition, a broad range of other financial information can be stored in
Quicken simply by attaching electronic or scanned documents, such as cheques,
receipts, warranties and electronic statements.
    "Canada is already a world leader in online banking, and with a few easy
steps, Quicken users can supercharge their online banking experience," said
Meg Rosgen, product manager, at Intuit Canada's small business division.

    "Quicken lets users compile much more data and keep it within easy reach
long after it disappears from their online banking sites," Rosgen said.
"Quicken connects all their online accounts and, combined with other important
data, delivers a complete, clear picture of their financial situation that
online banking just can't provide."

    Home & Business: Makes Home Business Ownership Easier, Less Taxing

    New this year, Quicken 2008 Home & Business Edition is designed for
Canadians running a home business who don't want to waste time managing
separate personal and home business finances. Because home business owners
often combine personal and business finances, Quicken Home & Business lets
them manage both from a single screen and still keep the finances separate for
tax time.
    In addition to all of the Quicken Cash Manager functionality, the Home &
Business edition also includes features that let small business create
invoices, track accounts receivable and payable, monitor investments and
create a debt reduction plan. It also includes a Business Centre, which:-   Allows users to clearly view their current business tax deduction
        summary and see other potential deductions.

    -   Offers an overall snapshot of money coming in for the month, money
        going out, and what remains in personal and business accounts.

    -   Delivers an up-to-date profit and loss view at how the business is
        growing, and the ability to show profit and loss for multiple
        businesses.

    Other new or improved features in Quicken 2008 Cash Manager and Quicken
Home & Business Edition include:

    -   A reorganized and redesigned menu that makes it easier to categorize
        expenses. Users can easily add extra details and relevant information
        to any expense report.
