Looking for Business Software for Macs

Posted by Connie Mettler on June 18, 2010 at 5:19pm in Business of Art Fairs
I need to update my bookkeeping -- and suddenly am at a loss as to what to use. Please help. Does Quicken Essentials for Mac have a p & l statement...can I use it to balance my books? or should I get Quicken 2007 for Macs? I can't believe I can't get the info from their website, or maybe it's just been a long week.

Or do I need to spring an additional $100 to $150 for QuickBooks?

I've been happy with Quicken 2006. It met my needs, but really need to change. Thanks.

    Thanks Peter and Oscar. I've just gotten off the phone with all Quicken...I did have Quicken 2006, and loved it, but have a new computer and wanted to start fresh. Quicken says 2006 has been "sunsetted" -- so they sent me off to QuickBooks because of the Mac issue...I have just purchased QuickBooks. Hope it is not too complicated...just don't have the time to wrangle all this stuff but my 2010 bookkeeping is in a shambles. Time to get it straightened out.

    I will go with Quick Books 2010 for Mac. But try to see if you can get a old 2006. You will like this soft ware but you have a learning curve.

    I would get quickbooks myself. You can keep track of a couple of different businesses on it if you have the need. I have both and find the Q2007 is very buggy and I can't stand it. Plus they should come out with a new version before too long (I'm hoping anyway). Remember QB and quicken were both originally designed for PC's and the mac versions work, but not as well. I would stick to Quickbooks. I've been using QB for all three businesses now and Quicken for the home. I never used Quicken for business but I'm sure there is a lot more flexibility for reports and management. Good luck.
