Quicken for personal, Quickbooks for business, and the bank's website. Also checking out Indinero.com for business version of Mint.

I use mint.com and I while I am sort of concerned about privacy, I trust them at least as much others who have my financial information.

Plus, AFAIK, if you're in the US you're only responsible for $50 worth of fraudulent transactions; for credit cards at least.

another vote for mint, but i also keep track of things in a spreadsheet, because as good as mint is, it can't do everything.

not concerned with privacy.

mint has potential. If they would offer to upload bank statements instead of providing the credentials, it would be great.

I use Yodlee MoneyCenter (http://yodlee.com/). It's free and has been around for a long time. Yodlee has had more features than Mint.com for years. Also, it's the back end of Mint.com.

I also signed up for mint.com, after reading everything they wrote about security and privacy.

But Bank of America's portfolio feature (if you're a customer) is also nice for a snapshot and trending of your net worth.

For basic business accounting, I started out with MS Accounting and felt it wasn't clear enough (or I forgot too much since Accounting class). Instead, I took some time to learn Excel better, which my CPA accepted just as well when it was tax time. At my level, Excel is more than enough.

Bank of America's "My Portfolio" is also driven by Yodlee.
