It seems at the moment the market standard without much competition is Quicken for personal use and Quickbooks for small business. So I like to keep everything local to myself and that's a good move for you, you should do that.

I generally don't trust online or cloud based accounting solutions like Mint or even Quicken online because I don't trust my information security to some third party without knowing how they are securing it and what will happen to me if/when they are leaked due to breach. They still have the Small Business Accounting in the form of Microsoft Dynamics, but that is utterly overkill for personal use. Again, I am not a fan of the interface but they are very feature rich including invoicing and payroll, again overkill for the average user. They still had a more extensive and probably too much for the average user application called Office Accounting, but they abandoned future updates and supports on that in favor of Intuit's Quickbooks. They abandoned it in favor of Intuit's Quicken but personally I am not a fan of the Quicken interface. I like the interface, its simple to use and has all the features you want. A desktop application that has the same features (although as already stated, nothing will be identical but if you are looking for functionality then certainly there will be) and pretty simple to use was Microsoft Money, however, Microsoft stopped supporting it with newer versions and while the existing versions will work, I still use mine, there will be no future updates.
