MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) today announced the availability of the new QuickBooks app for Mac, a brand new app designed for the Mac OS that brings the power and benefits of the QuickBooks Online ecosystem to Mac users.

QuickBooks app for Mac is the newest addition to the QuickBooks Online ecosystem, the number one cloud accounting solution for small businesses. Now Mac users have the option to leverage QuickBooks’ easy-to-use design with an app they can access through the Mac menu bar that gives small businesses and accountants access to a robust, open platform that works for them anytime, anywhere.

“Small business owners who use a Mac can now access the power of the QuickBooks Online ecosystem while working with the operating system they know and love,” said Dan Wernikoff, senior vice president and general manager of Intuit’s Small Business Group. “This is another example of how we’ve turned QuickBooks into an open ecosystem of business management solutions that can be accessed from any device.”

Business Management on Multiple Devices

The new QuickBooks app for Mac was designed to make managing a business from Mac OS even easier, with the option to not only use the new app but iPhone and iPad apps to ensure businesses always have access to their important business data. Through just one QuickBooks Online account, a business can access and interact with its data from a computer, iPhone, or iPad. The app automatically syncs data between devices and users, so small businesses can manage their finances anytime, anywhere.

QuickBooks is rapidly becoming the world’s small business operating system – an open platform that was redesigned to help small businesses get the most out of the cloud. More than 600,000 companies and 1.5 million individuals subscribe to QuickBooks Online globally, making it the number one cloud accounting solution for small businesses.

“As a bookkeeper for many local small businesses such as local farms and delis, I spend much of my day looking at reports on my computer. The clean design and colors of the QBO application for Mac are easy on the eyes and is what a Mac user has come to expect,” says Joanna Rosenfeld of Joanna Rosenfeld Bookkeeping in Valley Ford, California. “When I see I have matching transactions, it’s a satisfying feeling, like I’ve won a prize!”
