I especially like the fact that bank account and credit card information is directly downloaded into our Quicken account.

Simple easy way to track expenses Ability to download from online bank accounts

Quicken makes it easy to manage not only personal but also work finances; I find its ability to keep detailed track of monthly expenses and its cross-platform synchronization (for reviewing reports outside and inside the campus office) very useful. And another good aspect is that Quicken allows me to save and export financial summaries in different formats, which is very versatile.
