AccountEdge Pro review

AccountEdge Pro is the pick for a Mac business that wants desktop accounting with a working file on its own machine. It has desktop apps for Mac and Windows, and the $20 a month Pro plan covers sales and invoicing, purchases, inventory with kits and locations, time billing, contact management, budgets and hundreds of standard reports, with ten company files included. Payroll is an optional service with check or direct deposit. Network Edition at $30 adds simultaneous access for two users, and Hosted at $50 per user puts the file in a browser. The catch is the add-on menu: bank feeds cost $5 a month, telephone support $10 and the AccountEdge Connect browser add-on starts at $15, so the real monthly bill can be higher than the headline. The software must check in online at least once every 30 days, and if you cancel your file stays readable but you cannot add transactions.
