QuickBooks for Mac functions reliably for multiple businesses including those with job cost accounting, provided the accounting needs are not overly complex.
QuickBooks Mac has limitations with payroll processing when managing more than approximately 10-15 employees, whereas the PC version handles this more smoothly.
When using QuickBooks Mac with a small number of employees, payroll can be managed through memorized transactions set up by an accountant rather than using the payroll add-on.
QuickBooks Mac can access files across a network via Mac Server or VPN without issues.
QuickBooks Mac files can be exported in Windows format and sent to accountants who use PC-based systems.
Direct bank connections (rather than web connect downloads) availability varies by bank and should be verified before purchasing QuickBooks Mac.
Running QuickBooks PC through virtualization software like Parallels on Mac is feasible as an alternative, with good performance on Intel-based Macs.
Using cloud-based QuickBooks Online accessed through virtualization enables real-time collaboration between bookkeepers, accountants, and business owners on the same files.
Finding a Mac-compatible accountant and QuickBooks Certified Consultant is valuable for support and file management.

Discussion involves QuickBooks versions from 2009 and may not reflect current software capabilities.
Payroll limitations mentioned apply to older QuickBooks Mac versions.
Bank direct connect availability depends on individual financial institutions.
Cloud-based QuickBooks Online functionality and performance details reflect practices from approximately 2009.
