I saw Quicken has a version thats meant for Home Business but its not available for the Mac.

Ive read some people use Virtual Machines to install Windows on their Mac just so they can use Quicken Home Business but Im not sure if thatll make it more complicated for me.

Quicken Mac has NO business features, but can be customized to add business categories along with business tax line items (Schedule C).

You can enter your business transactions and customize reports to only include your business transactions, if you need.

But dont be fooled.

There is NO invoicing module for the Mac version, so you cant do any billing there.

And neither the Windows or Mac version does payroll.and neither really supports anything but a sole proprietorship type of business.

If you need to create invoices for your customers however, youll need to use the Windows version with a virtual machine on your Mac, such as Parallels, VMWare Fusion or Virtual Box.

They all require you purchase a Windows operating license in order to download the version of Windows you want to install.

You could instead purchase CrossOver.which will run Quicken Windows without needing to install any Windows operating system.

Be warned however, whichever system you choose there is a very steep learning curve for either Quicken Windows or Quicken Mac.

If you decide to go that route, I would recommend setting up a test file and exploring how you want to set things up, how to set up your business, create and get paid on a few test invoices.and when you feel completely comfortable with the product create a NEW data file and get to work.

Also, in my opinion (and I own BOTH products), Quicken Windows is a good to very good product, albeit complicated and convoluted at times.

Quicken Mac is visually better but is missing so many features, reporting capabilities and any semblance of accurate budgets that its awful and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

If youre looking for a better Mac product, I suggest you download the FREE trial versions of Banktivity 7, See Finance 2 or MoneyDance.

They all do a better job than Quicken Mac for less money and without an annoying annual subscription.

Ive been meaning to give the trials a try out first and then reply back to you but didnt get to early enough.

Im having some issues but it does seem easier than Quickbooks.
