The QuickBooks 2011 for Mac Software from Intuit is a financial management application for Mac OS X. The software features tools beneficial for use in general business applications. The included license gives you the right to install the software on three computers.
Because it was built specifically with the Mac platform in mind, QuickBooks acts much more like a native Mac application than a simple port of an existing Windows program. Its interface is similar to that of popular Apple applications, going as far as to provide Cover Flow style navigation through your documents. It works with MobileMe, the OS X Address Book, and iCal, making it easy to look up contacts and verify your schedule.
QuickBooks gives you the tools necessary to organize your finances from a central location. You'll be able to manage customer, vendor, and employee data, allowing you to organize your contacts with ease. You can track money coming in and going out, ensuring that your books are accurate. You'll be able to use it to create invoices, pay bills, and scan checks. It allows you to organize your finances in one place, making it easy to prepare for tax time.
Note:
The Intuit software sold at B&H is intended for use in the US only. It is not aware of tax regulations in other countries.
Exclusive Mac Features
Backup to MobileMe
Prevent painful data loss by backing up your QuickBooks file to MobileMe. Choose one-time or ongoing automatic backup. You can restore it at any time.
Synchronize Contacts with Mac OS X Address Book
Never enter a phone number or address twice. Save typing time and errors by effortlessly synchronizing contact information between QuickBooks and your Mac Address Book, cell phone, PDA or other iSync-compatible applications. Activate QuickBooks Contact Sync, and selected contacts appear automatically in Address Book. Update a contact in Address Book -- the changes automatically appear in QuickBooks. Leave the feature active to keep contact information, including e-mail addresses, up-to-date at all times.
Add Reminders to iCal
QuickBooks integrates with iCal so you can be reminded to print invoices and checks or to pay bills in one consolidated calendar and never miss a bill payment. Simply check the box next to "Show in iCal" on any invoice and a reminder is added to your calendar. And if you later decide to change the payment terms on the invoice in QuickBooks, iCal is automatically updated with the new due date.
Share Data with Your Accountant and Other Windows Users
Share your QuickBooks data with Windows-based users, such as your accountant. Send a Mac file to a Windows user -- who can update it -- and the Windows user can send it back. Just click the toolbar icon: "Backup to QuickBooks Windows". As QuickBooks creates the backup, it simultaneously creates a PDF file of simple instructions for opening and sending back the file. Send both files to your accountant or Windows user.
