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.

Let's see...

• 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.
