How does Quicken help with cash flow? It’s pretty simple: just tell Quicken which accounts you spend from, what your bills are, and when you expect income; it can then remind you when your bills are due, and project your spending account balances into the future. Wow! This can help you avoid late fees and overdraft charges, and perhaps put some of that “extra money” you might find into your savings account. Sound good?

How do I get started?
- Add your spending accounts.
To project your account balances and get an accurate picture of your cash flow, you’ll need to create accounts in Quicken for all of the real-world accounts you normally spend money from—most likely, your primary checking account and your credit cards.See Add an account to learn how. Create reminders for your recurring bills and income.
When you create a bill reminder, you enter the details of the bill and tell Quicken when to make the next payment, the amount due, and how often to make future payments. Do this for your income, too. Quicken will then have the information it needs to accurately project your account balances.
See Create a bill or income reminder to learn how.Categorize your transactions

How much do I receive each month in income?
