New tool for counting up possessions added to Quicken

The new Home Inventory Manager is the stand-out feature in Reckon’s latest release of their market leading personal finance software Quicken.

Quicken 2012 now incorporates an advanced home inventory tool so users can keep a comprehensive record of personal possessions alongside photographs, warranties, appraisals and receipts. Reckon says their best selling Quicken software will now help users keep an organised record of what they own and be prepared for emergencies, as well as track finances and manage investments in one easy to use program.

“Recording home inventory can be invaluable, particularly if you ever need to contact your insurance company following a break-in, a fire or even a natural disaster. To complement this new tool, and have an off-site record readily available, Reckon’s online back-up program, Reckon Tools back-up, integrates seamlessly with Quicken,” says Gerald Chait, Reckon Group General Manager – Marketing.

“Taking a few extra seconds to take pictures of serial numbers or unique markings on items and adding them to the Home Inventory Manager will help users get the most out of the new tool. It is also useful for estate planning as it offers the ability to add beneficiaries against items.”

Key new features in Quicken 2012 are:

Improved Home Inventory Manager

Updated tax information for the 2011/12 tax year

and an improved Cash Flow Graph

“Quicken is highly regarded in Australia as sophisticated personal finance software for anyone looking to manage their personal wealth, including share and property investments. The new Quicken 2012 aims to make managing tax, personal wealth and investments even easier,” says Chait.

Quicken 2012 is now available in major retail stores across Australia. The Quicken range starts at $99 RRP for Quicken Personal 2012. Find out more at www.quicken.com.au
