I have read reviews on the Intuit Online Community about frustrations of using the Mac version instead of the PC version. One post, which I agree with, stated that for the same price of product the programs should do exactly the same functions. So what are some of the differences between the PC version and the Mac version?

For starters, some of the menu options are different. For example, to turn on class tracking in the PC version you goto Preferences, but in the Mac version you go to Company Settings.

Payroll – for the PC version payroll is well integrated into QuickBooks, however, for the Mac payroll is online, you have to print PDF’s to print checks, and you have to import the transactions.

Collection center – this feature, that helps you track the monies owed to you by customers, is not available in the Mac version.

Batch invoicing – invoicing multiple customers at the same time is only available in the PC version.

QuickBooks search – this search feature is not available in the Mac version.

Scanning & depositing checks – this subscription feature which allows you to scan and deposit your checks into your bank account is only available in the PC version.

Multiple currencies – this feature, to invoice customers in different countries in non-US dollars, is not available in the Mac version.

Customer snapshot – and this feature, that captures key customer information in one place, is only available in the PC version.

There are more differences between the Mac version and the PC premier version. So, before you make your purchase decision, determine what your needs are or contact a Certified Intuit ProAdvisor for assistance.
