Is there a Mac version of QuickBooks for Canadians

We do recognize that the MAC market is growing as it is a great platform. Though we do not currently have software that will run on the MAC operating system we are currently working towards a solution that will allow our customers to access their information regardless of the type of operating system they choose to run.

Can I use the Windows® version of QuickBooks on my Mac?

You can install and run Windows® using the built-in Boot Camp utility available on all new Macs.  You will need to boot up your Mac into Windows® each time you want to run Quickbooks.

Alternatively you can install software that will let you run Windows while still running your Mac operating system.

Two options are:
Parallels Desktop®
Download the free trial version here.

VMware Fusion®
Download the free trial version here.

Please note that you will be required to purchase and install the full version of Windows® no matter which option you select (Boot Camp, Parallels or VMware).
