QuickBooks helps organizations with essential financial tasks like paying bills, printing checks, creating invoices, producing standard reports, and tracking expenses, contributions, payments, sales tax, and inventory.

This edition of QuickBooks can only be installed on a Mac computer with an Intel processor and will not run on a PowerPC-based Mac.

Features such as payroll management are available directly from Intuit for additional fees.

Differences from Windows Version

QuickBooks for Mac 2012 was built specifically for the Mac platform. For example:

• Using Contact Sync, QuickBooks can store company, customer, and vendor information in the OS X Address Book or Outlook. It can then be accessed to do routine tasks like printing envelopes or letters.
• QuickBooks can use iCal for scheduling and reminders and can back up data files to iDisk if users have a MobileMe account.
• Users can visit Little Square, a free online resource designed specifically for QuickBooks for Mac users.

Mac users in the organization can exchange data with Windows 2012 versions of QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Premier Accountant. Unlike the Windows users, however, they cannot continue to work and merge in the changes.

Includes One User License

This product includes one user license. Over a network, up to five users can work with the organization's data at the same time. Each user must have both a user license and a separate installation of the same edition and version of QuickBooks. Organizations that require more than one license can purchase them directly from Intuit.

Compatibility of QuickBooks Data with QuickBooks Versions

Once an organization's data is updated to a new version of QuickBooks, it can't be opened in the previous version. If an organization wants to allow an outside accountant to work with its data, the accountant must have an edition of QuickBooks released in the same year as the organization's.

Support

QuickBooks includes 12 months of free telephone support from Intuit for issues related to downloading or installing the software. Other issues might require a one-time fee or purchase of a support plan.

Choose Carefully

The administrative fee for this product is not refundable, and the product cannot be exchanged.
