PCs are also used for accounting. This is inexcusable. There are laughably-few-to-no Mac beancounting apps out there beyond the workstation level. The system stability and BSD screams for a one-stop shop, but accountants just aren't cool enough, it seems.
Great machines and boutique hardware (BIL has iTV, which I badly want) might just work for them, but they're getting their Opportunity Cost lunch eaten.

Being BSD based they could easily make ports of already in use *nix software.

- Quicken (really small biz)
- Quickbooks Pro
- MYOB AccountEdge
- MYOB FirstEdge
- Connected
- AcctVantage
- FirstOffice
- Kashflow
- Exponent Enterprise
- HansaWorld
- Tiny ERP
- Big Business 6
- UNIX ABS Accounting System
- AccountiX
- CODA
- NetSuite
- OpenSystems Accounting
- AdaptAccounts
- SQL Ledger
- Ceridian
- Adempiere
- Iris Enterprise Exchequer
- Access Dimensions
- Compiere
And, of course you can run anything that will run on Windows...
No, I guess there really aren't any "bean counter" apps out there for Mac... ;^)>
Of those, MYOB and Quickbooks will do fine for any small to medium size business although I prefer MYOB for payroll over Quickbooks if you are going to keep payroll in house. CODA, HansaWorld, and UNIX ABS will handle almost anything you can throw at them.
