 I've had a good experience with Quickbooks Pro for Mac March 1, 2008
S. Bauer (Bloomington, IN United States)

I realize there are quite a few negative reviews here, but I have had nothing but good result from this program. My wife and I run a consulting firm and the fact that Quickbooks has a consulting firm set-up feature sold me on it. We do not need to track sales or inventory, and Quickbooks was able to make that distinction and set up our business just the way it needed to be. The Business Walkthrough is a great feature and made setting up shop very simple.
I was a little intimidated in the beginning, since I have little accounting experience. But I printed out and read the section on Consulting from the help document and everything became more clear to me. Now that I have a better grasp of the features I am much more comfortable with the program. It reminds me a lot of Quicken I use for personal finance, which helps with the comfort factor.
I downloaded the Trial first, and was able to perform all functions and even set up the company. I wanted to see if it would afford everything I needed, and it did. I would recommend people try it first, to see if it gives you everything you are looking for.
My only complaint is the update pricing, or lack there of. Intuit should offer discounts to it's loyal customers.
I would recommend this program to anyone in the consulting field due to the defined business model it can spit out. I like not having all the extra accounts and expenses I don't need to track.

The only thing worse that Quickbooks for Windows is Quickbooks for Mac. As users of both products, I agree completely with the multiple negative reviews posted earlier. Intuit's refusal to support bugs within their software is unethical. I'd say criminal, but since we all have to agree to a disclaimer that no piece of software comes with any guarantee to do anything, anytime, anywhere, there's no legal recourse.
When are the consumer protection groups going to wake up and go after software companies for their refusal to take responsibility for their products, with Intuit at the head of the line? When are we consumers going to wake up and tell our accountants to take their requirement we use Quickbooks and give us some real alternatives?
I suppose a big part of the problem is that there aren't any decent alternatives. Quickbooks seems to have killed most of them off - but you might take a look at the open source GnuCash program. Perhaps it can morph into a Quickbooks alternative.
Works but very disappointing February 11, 2008

I switched from Money to Quickbooks Pro in 2007. It was a tough transition but worth it for my companies. Now in 2008, I've moved from Windows to Mac in a desperate bid to get computers that work reliably and meet our needs without paying homage to "Emperor Gates". The transfer from Quickbooks Pro Windows to Quickbooks Pro Mac has been absolutely painful. This is largely due to the substandard product that Intuit developed for the Mac. There is no accountant's copy (unless you're willing to send it off and then shut down all record keeping, invoicing or accounting while you wait for the file to come back), you cannot share files between more than one computer on the same network, the menus are not as easy to navigate (some options are actually buried 2 or 3 layers deep), the forms are not as easily customizable or turn out looking as clean/professional, and you can't customize the main screen so you have easy access to the features you use day-to-day. It's just generally more difficult to use on Mac and makes using the product even more challenging, and less worth while, then it was in Windows. I feel there should be more disclosure from Intuit about the serious discrepancy between the Windows and Mac versions of the "same" product. I honestly cannot recommend this product to anyone who does more then basic record keeping or works with a professional accountant. This is not really a professional, small business product.
 No payroll February 8, 2008

For several years I used QB for Windows, but for the past couple I didn't use it and in the mean time all my Windows machines died or were replaced by Macs. So I got QB for Mac. One of the two major things I need it for, payroll, is not supported on the Mac. For those who don't know, the payroll feature is not just about paying employees (I have none but myself,) it's also about knowing how big a check to write to yourself based on what was on invoices; computing withholding; printing your check and the withholding checks to send to state and federal gov't; printing a W-2 at the end of the year; getting a breakdown on exactly what you were paid for. None of this is available on the Mac version. That is absolutely incomprehensible to me.
On the bright side, it did cost more than the Windows version.
I'm so angry at Intuit I will probably not even use TurboTax again.
Not so "QuickBooks" January 12, 2008

MacMoney has been a premier accounting program for the Mac for years. To my dismay it is not only unsupported in OS X but is becoming hard to find printers that still support Classic so the switch was made to QuickBooks for my Real Estate and Property Management business.
I followed the manual and on screen instructions for the type of business for over 12 hours only to find the system not performing as expected at which time I went to the internet and found that many others shared my frustration and ended up having to purchase a manual or hire an expert to set up their program.
When I purchased QuickBooks I never expected to have to also pay for assistance to set up my company but this seems to be the norm.
