What you’ll need
- Your latest Quicken Net Worth (or Net Worth & Balances) report
- Most recent statements for 1–2 key accounts (optional)
- 5–10 minutes for a focused review
Step-by-step checklist
- Confirm the report date (as-of) matches the day you’re checking.
- Scan for a single outlier account (big jump up/down) and click into it.
- Check that investment accounts are using the expected valuation method (price updates vs placeholders).
- Look for duplicates (same account twice due to old/closed account copies).
- Verify loans/credit cards are in the correct sign direction (debt should reduce net worth).
- If home value is included, confirm it’s updated intentionally (not stale or double-counted).
Common pitfalls
- Comparing two different as-of dates without realizing it.
- An account moved between groups (e.g., banking → investing) and changed totals.
- A closed account still included in the report.
- A manual asset or liability value drifting over time.
