However, there are good, similarly-functioning alternatives, including highly-popular Mint, Britix24, Xero, and Wave. Quickbooks is transparent and affordable, making it ideal for small businesses. Alternatively, you’ll need at least Mac OS X 10.12. Quickbooks is compatible with up to Windows 8. At least with the business-oriented QuickBooks, Mac users can switch to the highly-superior & much more full-featured AccountEdge, but when it comes to personal. There are several versions with different price plans, suitable for various needs of your business. The program comes with a free trial, but after, you'll have to purchase a license. The customer support isn't their strongest point, either, so you may struggle at first. With online banking, online bill payment, investment management and budgeting, Moneydance provides all the features of Quicken plus benefits such as ease of use and no sunsetting of features. Note, however, that with this many features, the program isn't easy to learn. Moneydance is a powerful yet easy to use personal finance app for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and iPad. Using these tools, filing tax reports becomes a breeze, from simple forms to federal relief options. When it comes to taxes, Intuit also created another tool called Turbotax, which you can combine with Quickbooks. You'll find report templates for cash flow and sales, too, as well as many other things. There is also a customizable account chart, as well as accounts payable and checks printer.įurthermore, tracking time, inventory, and project management, are also possible through the software. Moreover, there are functions of keeping track of your contacts, as well as leads and expenses, within the program.

You may generate pricing estimates and then choose among four invoicing templates to convert. The number of tools you can get with Quickbooks is massive - you'll find them all in your Home page, where the sections help you navigate through the program. It can import your Quicken 2007 and Essentials 2010 files, as well as Windows Quicken files.Quickbooks is an accounting software package that provides tools for the automatization of financial aspects of managing a business. There’s no free trial, but Intuit offers a 60-day money back guarantee (at least if you buy it from Intuit, not sure about the Mac App Store). It’s a substantial rewrite for modern Macs and offers mobile device integration. Undoubtedly there will soon be reviews, but if you’re a Quicken fan, you’ll probably want to check it out. It’s the first software I’ve seen released with a “ vote for your favorite new feature” list in lieu of those features actually being included notably online bill pay is missing, and there is no mention of whether you’ll be able to send your backup file to your accountant who uses the Windows version. Is it any good? I’m skeptical but hopeful. Which is why I was surprised to read that there is now Quicken 2015 for Mac, which Intuit released today. Or some kept using Quicken 2007 for Mac, despite it taking nine months for Intuit to retrofit it to run on OS X 10.7 and later. So users either used Quicken for Windows in Parallels Desktop, or quit Quicken in favor of iBank or even easier-to-use online services like Mint (which I’m a fan of, despite it now being owned by Intuit). While Intuit did release Quicken Essentials 2010 for Mac, it had a very stripped down feature set, and everyone hated it. Still, it was Quicken, the name brand of personal finance software. It’s long been a second-class citizen compared with its Windows versions, with longstanding complaints of bugs, slow updates, poor support, and file format incompatibilities. Frankly, I thought Quicken for Mac had been abandoned by Intuit.
