QuickBooks Pro 2005 for Mac review:5 stars (QuickBooks Pro 2005 minimizes chaos) - Qbks really made my bookkeeping easy. The step-by-step set up is easy to follow. After setting things up I found it really easy to stay on top of my bookkeeping.3 stars (Doesn't completely suck) - I started a new business and bought Quickbooks, like I was told too. While it isn't extremely intuitive and lacks some functionality, it doesn't completely bite either. Note, I don't use payroll and have a simple business.
I bought Simple Start for Windows since Mac users complain about the gap in features, and that is true, but the Windows version isn't different at any essential level - it is just as confusing and difficult to customize, convert to Excel , etc; as the Mac version. I will probably not upgrade due to the lack of upgrades, but this is still the best accounting program for Mac I found. I'm guessing all of these programs suck (stupid accounting).5 stars (QB Pro 2005 for Mac is a worthwhile purchase) - I am doing bookkeeping and budgetting as well as analysis of past records for a nonprofit PTSA. Quickbooks has been super-helpful in sorting things out. It translated all of the old PC files from QB Pro for PC flawlessly. We were up and running in minutes. By the way, you can download a one month trial version from the Intuit website and give it a try before you purchase. It is a fully functioning copy of the software. I did that while I waited for delivery of the software from Amazon, so there was no need to wait for the copy in the mail. Super good value, esp. if you can take advantage of the rebate. |
