Cheap Accounts software for a Mac

paulstafford

Does anyone know of a cheap ( or free would be good!) and easy to use bookkeeping software which can run on an Apple Mac? I'm thinking along the lines of the capability offered by VT cashbook.

In a word, no!

You would probably be better looking for a cheap (or free) online service so it can be used on any platform regardless of whether Mac or PC.

Xero is one of the cloud accounting packages. I don't know much about it...

Other option is getting a cheap laptop and putting VT on, or one of the Windows emulators for the mac, but would you be confident enough of the relibility?!

Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately client is not keen on online packages as that would be the ideal solution.

I think Sage offer a free program on there website, however I'm not sure whether this would be either Mac compatible or indeed of any use. Generally anything free seems to extremely limited and/or glitchy

I had a look and I think the free software is just for invoicing? Could be handy to many people though!

Can't vouch for it and don't know if it's compatible but http://quickbooks.intuit.co.uk/small-business-accounting/quickbooks-simplestart-free.jsp
