re you one of the many who have made the switch from Windows to the Mac and now find yourself unfamiliar with the Quickbooks for Mac environment? You aren’t alone. This is one of the major concerns many have when they move to a Mac environment. They fear it will affect their bookkeeping and are unsure what to do about that. The good news is, it doesn’t have to.

When you open up QuickBooks for Mac you will see the interface a bit different, but fortunately, Intuit has made some robust upgrades since 2009 and 2011 has some really great new features. For example, one nice benefit of working in the same platform is that QuickBooks for Mac integrates nicely with your Address Book, MobileMe, iCal and even iChat. You are able to synchronize your contacts in Address Book; add reminders to iCal, see other users iChat status and launch a chat if you have a question on a transaction; and even back up to MobileMe.
Listed below are some of the major features of QuickBooks for Mac 2011. We know you will find them easy to use and beneficial in managing your business using QuickBooks.
