Built specifically for the Mac OS, this user-friendly software looks and works in a way that will be familiar to you. Organize all your finances in one place so you can quickly find what you need. Create professional-looking invoices and track sales and expenses with ease. Get reliable records for tax time, too.
So, what's new in QuickBooks for Mac 2013? Save time on billing with Batched Invoicing. Get paid faster by offering Intuit Payment Network as a payment method. Attach documents, such as contracts, proposals, and receipts, to enable easy reference and preparation for tax time. Intuit has also improved the way you reconcile your QuickBooks data with bank statements, making the process easier than ever. Plus, you can now easily import product, customer, and service information from outside of QuickBooks, bringing it in directly from spreadsheets--instead of doing manual data entry.
New and Improved Features for 2013
Save Time on Billing with Batched Invoicing
Now, you can invoice multiple customers simultaneously, rather than just one at a time. Create a complete set of invoices for customers with the same charges. Simply make the invoice and choose the customers to whom you wish to send it. Step-by-step instructions make this feature easy to implement.
Get Paid Faster by Offering Intuit Payment Network as a Payment Method
Add an Intuit Payment Network electronic link to emailed and printed invoices, and have payments deposited directly into your bank account. It's convenient for your customers, since they need not be members of IPN, and you get paid quicker. Transactions are automatically downloaded to QuickBooks, allowing you to easily keep track of them. You only pay 50 cents per bank transaction - no monthly, setup, or cancellation fees.
Attach Documents and Get More Organized
Benefit from the ability to attach contracts, proposals, receipts, and other important documents in QuickBooks for easy reference and tax time preparation.
Easily Reconcile QuickBooks Data with Bank Statements
Reduce errors, identify discrepancies, and easily locate the source with a keyword search. You can filter results by date ranges or sort to quickly identify transactions that may require reconciliation. Intuit has also made collaborating with your bookkeeper simple - even if he or she is a Windows user - with easy data conversion.
Easily Import Product, Customer, and Service Information
Bring outside product, customer, or service information into QuickBooks directly from spreadsheets, rather than entering data manually. If there's anything else not present in the spreadsheet that needs to be added in order to complete your entries, QuickBooks prompts you to make sure your information is accurate and complete. You can easily import contacts from Address Book/Contacts and Gmail, and flag them as Customers, Vendors, or Employees.
Previously-Existing Features Retained From Earlier Versions
Save Time With Redesigned Sales Forms That Are More Mac-Like
Sales forms have been updated with a new "Mac-like" look and feel. New customer history panel summarizes customer information such as open invoices, balances, and notes for simpler review. For quicker browsing, see your transactions in a list. Improved tables with adjustable columns and multiline descriptions give your data a cleaner look. Change the width of columns on select windows to show more of the data you need and less of the data you don't.
Save Time By Adding Online Banking Transactions In Batches
Now, you can enter transactions directly from your financial institution into QuickBooks in batches--instead of just one at a time. QuickBooks automatically creates rules to rename payees downloaded from your financial institution. You can then easily batch enter transactions.
Please note: Online services vary by participating financial institutions and may be subject to application approval, and additional terms, conditions and fees. Supports Web Connect and Direct Connect.
