Those are good. So is Multiledger, from Checkmark Software, which our firm uses.

I have Quick Books Pro. While i guess it is a good bookkeeping program (I hate bookkeeping and paid somebody to enter my drawers full of stuff into it)...there is one major thing that it doesn't do that greatly disappointed me.
I cannot give my files to my accountant (who does not have a Mac computer)!
I can print out whatever information needed and give her pages, but it would/could be so much easier if the program would work cross-platform.
It really irks me that Quick Books Pro has procalimed to be so good for Mac users and have not addressed this issue. Adobe products work cross-platform....why can't Quick Books make an effort?

Quickbooks has never been commited to the Mac. They let the product
lanquish for years and then pretended to care last year with the
launch of Quickbooks for OSX. They don't really care.

Both Checkmark's Multiledger (www.checkmark.com) and MYOB have cross
platform files. I prefer Multiledger hands down. I have been using it
for many years. The files are even accessible by both Macs and PC's at
the same time under multiuser mode. The program is rock solid and
simple to use. I believe the licensing allows up to 10 users under the
one license and even allows you to load another copy on your home
computer. I believe MYOB requires a separate license for each
computer. Your accountant could download the demo PC version and would
be able to view your files but not change them.
