I have been asked by a company who uses Apple Mac computers which would be better to use, QuickBooks or Clearbooks? They currently use Sage Line 50.Any assistance with this matter is much appreciated.

I use QB's and find it really easy to navigate around it. I have never used Clearbooks so can't comment on it. Also I'm not sure QB's is compatable with Mac computers, it never use to be but it may well have changed.

Claire,

Why not think outside the box? Try pitching a cloud based version to them, eith Xero, Kashflow, QB online, that way it'll work with ALL computer connected to net regardless on make! ;)

Hi Claire
Ive just bought Quick Books Pro 2013 (updating my earlier 2001 version!) and whilst the box it comes says it runs on Windows 7/XP/Vista but doesnt mention Apple Macs although I understand there is a Mac version from Intuit or that if you install Parallels first then you can run the other one. Quick books also do a cloud based version.

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
