QuickBooks for Mac is your complete financial management system. Finally, after years of insufficient accounting offerings for the Mac, Intuit has developed QuickBooks for Mac to meet all your pressing business needs. Forms can be combined into one email to a client, you can create custom email templates, automatic payment reminder emails can be matched to invoice templates, and statements and credit card transactions can be handled with customers in a breeze.

Desktop for Mac provides the core accounting features as the rest of the Quickbooks Desktop line. These features include contractor management, sales, time, and expense tracking, invoicing, email tracking, and inventory management. Desktop for Mac also provides a library of prebuilt reports, plus exportability to Numbers or Excel. The Quickbooks Mac forums have become a great resource and are regularly monitored by Inuit staff who frequently weigh in with helpful information, solutions and answers to questions. I have read reviews complaining that the Windows version is more feature rich, which is true, but for me the Mac version is a perfect fit.

Desktop for Mac also provides a library of prebuilt reports, plus exportability to Numbers or Excel. It is too bad that Quickbooks has stopped making Quickbooks Desktop of Mac. This is the last desktop version they will make as they move to an online service only for Mac. The online service has a fraction of the features that this desktop version offers. Buy it while you can. Quikbooks is supporting this software with updates until 2019.

Insightful Accountant will however be including QuickBooks for Mac in our SeptemberQB Talks webinar scheduled for 2 PM Eastern on September 18, 2019 when we discuss all of the QuickBooks 2020 versions, so you may want to tune in for that webinar even though it does contain ‘Windows’ versions (sorry), there will be more information about that webinar in a future article.
