I have used Quicken for years, ready to upgrade to Quickbooks. Keep reading bad reviews, but don't want to dedicate PC to it, one more piece of equipment, really want to streamline, will go for Quickbook for Mac 2011, won't know what I'm missing! Pretty simple, don't need payroll, etc...Will get to shootq eventually too. lisa Thanks Liana,
Great article. I have used Quicken for years, ready to upgrade to Quickbooks. Keep reading bad reviews, but don’t want to dedicate PC to it, one more piece of equipment, really want to streamline, will go for Quickbook for Mac 2011, won’t know what I’m missing! Pretty simple, don’t need payroll, etc…Will get to shootq eventually too.

I am sorry paul, but I disagree. It could not be any easier.... ShootQ does it all for you! Just enter the amounts and ShootQ reminds the client and take care of the rest. I tried Successware and while it is a very complete solution is archaic and too complicated. Does anyone have heard about a manual on how to set up QB for Photographers use?

Does anyone have heard about a manual on how to set up QB for Photographers use?

There's a monthly service fee, not a flat one-time rate. QB actually has an online function now, which makes it really nice. There’s a monthly service fee, not a flat one-time rate.

I have only used the mac version, so I guess I don't know what I am missing. I do know that there is nor perfect solution for photography. I have used successware and now shootQ, I felt more organized with successware. ShootQ is great for the online contract ans the "shopping cart" but the invoicing and billing is to complicated. I wish we could combine the 2 programs to one power house. If Successware went online I would probably switch back. Just my two cents:) So true… I have only used the mac version, so I guess I don’t know what I am missing. I do know that there is nor perfect solution for photography.

I should rephrase my comment to : it stinks if you try to switch from Windows version to Mac version :) Otherwise, ignorance of how Windows version works is bliss on Mac! (but still the ONLY program I prefer to use on Windows) Hey Kelly, I agree now that I’m looking at it all again.

I feel pretty confident that it will be fine for what I need it to do, so I'm going to stick with it. Thanks for the great series of articles, the info is so vital to getting off on the right foot!

That's great! You are honestly the first person I've heard this from. Did you use the Windows version first, or always the Mac version? I think why most people complain about it is that the Windows versions are usually ten (or 100) steps ahead of the Mac version as far as features and bank compatibility is concerned. If you use Windows then go to the Mac version I can see why there would be some dislike for the Mac version (that's what happened to me). If you've always used the Mac version and it's compatible and everything you need, then I'd for sure keep on using it! Hey Paul! That’s great! You are honestly the first person I’ve heard this from.
