Dunn made the announcement in one of the Quicken community forums where he revealed that H.I.G. Capital had submitted a purchase offer for the Quicken business. He further added that the buying firm is impressed with Quicken’s dedication towards assisting customers in managing their finances as well as Intuit’s loyal customer base.

The general manager also stated that he is a part owner as well as an investor in the transaction.

Despite the change of ownership for Quicken, it is expected to continue operating on the already planned roadmap for 2016. Neither of the two parties has revealed the financial terms of the deal or details about the timeline for the acquisition.
