I have been a Quicken user for many years but have heard that the move to Yosemite is a Quicken nightmare - so I'm trying to research new software.  I'm overwhelmed by the number of available programs, all the things that each program can do and perplexed by the arguments for and against each feature in each program. 
My needs are relatively simple for my small business:  1)  I need to be able to import years worth of Quicken data into the new program  2)  I need to easily print checks  3)  I need to easily reconcile my checking account each month and  4)  I need to generate basic reports for my accountant (e.g. P & L statements, category summaries).
I have been a FileMaker user since 1.0 so I don't need (or want) A/R, A/P, inventory management, invoicing, etc.
I just need a solid, dependable electronic checkbook per above.
Suggestions?

I am using Quicken Essentials 1.7.4 on a [Mac Pro, 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon with 16 Gb of memory], running 10.7.5.  I am in the process of upgrading everything to work on Yosemite and Quicken seems to be the most difficult problem to overcome.
Thanks for your response and feedback.
I would recommend you continue with Quicken Essentials.  As noted by others, it performs well on Yosemite.
My personal experience is Quicken 2007 for Mac also on 10.7.5 (with many reports of it both updated and successfully running on Yosemite) and I personally would not touch Quicken Essentials with a 10 foot pole -- BUT, if it ain't broke for you, don't fix it!
