Over the past few years, QuickBooks for Mac has had numerous improvements. As the number of QuickBooks for Mac users increase, more QuickBooks ProAdvisors are supporting them. If you are a QuickBooks ProAdvisor who is proficient with QuickBooks for Windows, then you will be able to navigate on QuickBooks for Mac. You may find that you are a bit slower to move around, however within a few minutes you can find your way around and will realize that the basic concepts are the same. QuickBooks for Mac 2011 enjoys a wealth of improvements, including many features that the Windows users have come to know, love, rely upon and respect.
New for 2011. William 'Bill' Murphy Intuit’s LittleSquare (website) for Mac is one of the best tools to learn the details about QB for Mac and also the ‘tricks’ and ‘tips’. I wish those of us primarily using and consulting on QB-Windows had a LittleSquare type website to point our clients to. Intuit’s QB Community is a great resource but it is so cluttered and cumbersome that a lot of ‘newcommers’ are overwhelmed and simply ‘close-out’ rather than take the time to find the ‘help’ they are looking for. Thanks Michelle for giving us a great forum to post our thoughts on your timely and informative subjects.
William “Bill” Murphy – Okla. Beth Boyd So far I’ve been recommending that Mac users partition their computers and run QB for Windows.
It sounds like improvements have been made, which is welcome. It seems like many ProAdvisors don’t want to deal with Mac. I know a couple of my exisitng Mac folks are planning to switch to 2011 – here’s hoping it’s a little more accoutant friendly. I think most of it is psychological – I know how to do everything I want in QB for Windows, but QB Mac is struggle – plus we hate looking stupid in front of our clients.
