Quicken for Mac

Looking for financial software for your Macintosh Computer? Quicken for Mac is one you may want to take a look at.

Intuit is coming out with a new version of Quicken for the Mac platform. The release is likely to occur in Feb 2010.

In 2008, an announcement came out about Quicken Financial life for Macintosh platforms, but this never occurred. Also, in 2009, a similar commitment was heard in the Macworld. But, eventually it was realized that the software would not do what it was expected. The feedback collected was used by Intuit to develop a better product.

Quicken for Mac was born as a result of the comments from Mac customers. The programmers at Intuit took the feedback very seriously. They decided to start from scratch to rebuild the entire product. Although it may sound like reinventing the wheel, it was decided that every aspect of Quicken for Mac would be changed.

From its appearance, to the way it works, a good amount of time was also spent in building a reconcile mode for new registers. Equal attention was also devoted towards complicated functions such as Windows to Macintosh transfer. This was primarily meant for the newer generation of the Mac users, but also for those using a Windows virtual machine to run Quicken.

Quicken for Macintosh Looks (and Acts) Like a Mac

The look and feel of the new accounting software for Mac was also redesigned to a great extent to make the software look and feel as close as possible to a native Mac application. Overall it may be said that Intuit took the feedback from Mac users very seriously. Now Apple consumers have a product that acts as it should on their computer of choice.

Delay = Better Product

Intuit apologized for the delay, and justified it by saying that they are utilizing all customer comments in a productive manner to ensure the quality of the product and its release. They want to ensure the product is free from flaws and works as expected and demanded by their customers. It is anticipated that most financial tasks performed by Mac users with this appliation will be simplified beyond imagination.

No CPA Required

The new version of accounting Mac software does not require you to be a certified accountant to perform consolidation of bank balances across your accounts. This includes different banks as well as investment accounts. Helpful graphs will help you track your expenditures, bill payments will be a cinch, and overall management of your funds will be better than ever before.
