Intuit Announces QuickBooks 2011 for Mac

Intuit has announced QuickBooks 2011 for Mac with new multi-user functionality. The software will be available September 27th for purchase.

The software meets the needs of expanding small businesses with new multi-user options and the ability to set user permissions - the most-requested features by previous QuickBooks for Mac users. With the ability to delegate important accounting tasks to others in the company, small business owners can focus on driving their businesses forward.

QuickBooks 2011 for Mac also features new reports and tools to help users track job-related mileage so they can claim the tax write-offs they deserve. Users can also customize reports and forms to reflect their brands and to show the exact data they need to show.


"Many of our small business customers - from the graphic designer to the restaurant owner - run busy, fast-growing operations," said Dan Wernikoff, vice president and general manager of Intuit’s Financial Management Solutions division. "The features in QuickBooks 2011 for Mac help them save time in the back office, so they can grow their business without feeling growing pains."

New Features
● Multi-User Access allows up to five employees to simultaneously view and edit QuickBooks data files.
● User Permissions lets small businesses determine who can work in up to eight accounting activity areas. In addition, iChat integration allows logged-in users to communicate with each other using QuickBooks to avoid crossed wires.
● Mileage Tracking enables users to log their job-related auto mileage for reimbursement on customer invoices and at tax time, giving small businesses a better understanding of job costs.
● Register Sorting allows users to find specific transactions faster by easily sorting account registers by date, type, number, amount, and other fields.

● Little Square is a free, online magazine with videos, articles and other resources that helps users learn the ins and outs of QuickBooks for Mac.
● Layout Designer offers improved, ready-made templates to give users the ability to create customized forms for estimates, invoices and more. New tools simplify image cropping and field alignment to create a unique, professional look.
