Need to figure out which Quicken to buy

[aga]

My brother has started a trucking company. He is looking for a software
that would allow him to track his business' financial and operational
data. He is looking at Quicken Deluxe, Quicken Pro and Quicken
Premier. Quicken Pro seems to be more tax oriented that the others.
Is this the right read.

What are the prices of each of these products? My opinion is that if
the higher end product is only $20 higher give or take and assuming it
has all of the features of the lower version, then he should buy the
higher version.

If Quicken is not the right product, do any of you recommend something
else for him to consider.

Thank you.

Details, please. Is this a sole proprietorship? Employees? Inventory?

There is a Quicken Home & Business that allows for invoicing etc. Perhaps
that may suit you best?

Unless the business is a sole proprietorship with no employees, I
would strongly recommend a product really designed for business
accounting. Some examples are QuickBooks, Peachtree Accounting, and
Medlin Accounting. I'm sure there are more. QuickBooks is one that is
most like Quicken. You may want to lurk in the newsgroups devoted to
each of the various products to understand their strengths and
weaknesses. The QB newsgroup is
alt.comp.software.financial.quickbooks.
