For example, if you’re a writer and you sell your own books, QuickBooks will help you set up inventory items, but it will also inform you that writers don’t typically maintain inventory. Once you tell QuickBooks what kind of business you run - be it hair salon or auto-body shop - the setup process is customized to suit your specific business needs.
If you’re a new user, QuickBooks 5 runs you through a setup process that, depending on how much financial information you have on your business, should take you roughly 30 minutes to complete. And though it will run in OS 9, it differs so little from version 4 that there’s no compelling reason to switch unless OS X is clearly in your immediate future. QuickBooks 5 does retain the familiar register interface it shares with Intuit’s personal-finance program, Quicken.

QuickBooks Pro 5 is essentially an OS X-native QuickBooks Pro 4 with a splash of Aqua paint and a couple of minor additional features. Arrested DevelopmentĪnyone familiar with QuickBooks Pro 4 will be quick to note that there’s little difference, featurewise, between the six-year-old version and this most recent release. What should have been the triumphant re-entry of a once-stellar application is instead a disappointing return. While the program remains easy to master, this version has a hefty price for what is more OS X makeover than new application.
QuickBooks Pro 5.0 - which marks Intuit’s welcome return to the Mac side of the business market - is, unfortunately, a lackluster release.
Hailed for its ease of use and powerful accounting capabilities, QuickBooks allowed even neophytes to get a grip on their business finances without having to bone up on double-entry bookkeeping. When Intuit dropped support for the Mac version of QuickBooks in 1997, it was the best-selling accounting software available for the Macintosh.
