I need assistance on what Quickbooks product for a Mac I should purchase.

I have used Quickbooks in the past, acutally from its inception for my S corporation business which was retired in 2011. I now have a small sole propriety business that only has few clients but I need a double entry accounting system. I am and will be using my personal checking account for the business which natually I am comminiling both personal and business funds.

In the past, one would purchase Quickbooks and download it to a computer but Intuit has a new business model where you either have a desktop or cloud version on a monthly or yearly fee. I'm using my SSN as my EIN and pay Quarterlies. My priorities are to setup a Chart of Accounts and manually input all transaction, which are a few, to the check register. I also need to forward and electronic copy to my CPA. There will be only one user on both a Desktop and Laptop and I am not price sensitive. Does anyone have any suggestion? Input from the community would be greatly appreciated...Thank you!

You might consider using QB Desktop 2022 for Mac and buy it for $275 for the first year. Utilize the trial version if required. Otherwise, you can wait until September 20 when they release QB Desktop 2023. Another option, you may pick QB Online Simple Start or Essentials.

Good day, Cerama3187.

While we're unable to directly recommend what product to use, I've listed some pointers below that will guide you in choosing the right accounting software for your business.

The 2022 edition/version of QuickBooks Desktop for Mac is subscription-based, and users will have to renew their licenses annually. They also will have access to free customer support, data recovery services, and other capabilities, including the following:

On the other hand, QuickBooks Online is a cloud-based accounting solution that helps small businesses manage their accounting, income, expenses, payroll, and more. No additional software is required to be installed as the accounts are viewed through an online login portal, All versions include access to the mobile apps, customer support, and third-party app integrations.
