QuickBooks Pro for Windows 10 on Mac with Parallels Desktop

Manage your products and subscriptions, update your contact and billing info, view order and payment history, manage authorized users and more. Quickbooks is an accounting software package developed and marketed by Intuit. Quickbooks products are geared mainly toward small and medium- sized businesses and offer on-premises accounting applications as well as cloud based versions that accept business payments, manage and pay bills and payroll functions. QuickBooks app for Mac should not be confused with QuickBooks for Mac 2014—it’s not a standalone application, and thus, requires that you already have an existing or plan to setup a new.

Whether you’re a personal finance manager or a small business, you can manage your accounting and financial goals with QuickBook Premium for Windows on your Mac.

Mac® devices help businesses solve problems in creative ways. The powerful Apple® hardware and intuitive platforms create a seamless opportunity for the ongoing growth of Apple devices in enterprise environments. More and more businesses are beginning to use Mac computers in their day-to-day operations instead of Windows PCs, due to macOS® being stable and robust. Most of these businesses (especially small businesses) also use QuickBooks™ Premier to manage their accounting and inventory. Users who are considering QuickBooks can narrow down which version is best for them with this helpful article from SLC bookkeeping: Is QuickBooks Right For Me?

Unfortunately, QuickBooks for Mac doesn’t have some of the functionality users may need to properly manage their accounting and operations. QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Enterprise all require a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to run the software. However, don’t fret! Small businesses who use Mac computers and need any of those versions of QuickBooks have options with Parallels Desktop® for Mac.

John Pedlar is the CEO of Excelavue; he utilizes his Mac to run QuickBooks Premier on his Mac with Parallels Desktop. This CEO saves money and precious time by running a virtual machine to avoid having to purchase multiple computers for his employees.

QuickBooks Premium for Microsoft Windows running on Mac with Parallels Desktop

“When we launched our company in March 2014, we decided on using QuickBooks Premier Edition for Windows as the mainstay for Excelavue’s accounting, stock, quote and invoice generation,” said Pedlar. “Our company utilizes Mac computers for their simplicity of use, reliability of hardware, and applications. I found out about Parallels Desktop for Mac several years ago when I had a MacBook Pro and needed to run Windows in order to stream live events that I was filming at different venues around the world. My requirement was to be able to run Windows programs and Mac apps side by side rather than having to reboot each time in order to swap from macOS to Windows or vice versa. Using Parallels Desktop was a breeze after laboriously having to re-boot each time I needed to swap operating systems.”

Being able to go between Windows and OS X applications seamlessly is a major benefit. Cutting and pasting information (i.e. copying a client’s address from QuickBooks Premier for Windows and pasting it into a shipping website on macOS Safari) is a great time save! Pedler adds, “If it had not been for Parallels Desktop, I would have had to purchase two computers for each employee in order to accomplish the tasks required to run Excelavue Inc. For a small company starting out, that would have been a major outlay.”

Established in 2014, Excelavue Inc supplies sound equipment and technology to schools, school boards, corporate environments, and places of worship across Ontario and Newfoundland. Additionally, Excelavue is the Ontario distributor for Lightspeed (a classroom sound equipment manufacturer based out of Portland, Oregon) and for Chiayo (a manufacturer of larger portable sound systems based in Taiwan).

Let’s face it, for some people QuickBooks Online just doesn’t work. They tried it, they didn’t like it. They tried it, it didn’t do the job for them. They tried it, and things just didn’t yield the same results. Then they want to go back to QuickBooks Desktop and take their QBO file with them.

While Intuit makes the process of moving (converting) from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online fairly painless, the same can’t be said for the reverse, especially since the demise of Windows 7. Most people are now using Windows 10 which uses Microsoft Edge as the default browser, but the process of converting from QBO to QuickBooks Desktop is reliant upon something called ‘Active X’ which must run under ‘Internet Explorer’.

Quickbooks Online App For Desktop

You must then go through an exhaustive process of ‘preparing your QuickBooks Online data’ for export because there is an extensive list of data that doesn’t export (or doesn’t export correctly as it should) from QBO to QuickBooks Desktop. You may need to spend a considerable amount of time working on your QBO data to maximize the possibility that the download file which is exported by Intuit from QBO will be accurate when you import it. If you don't go through this exercise chances are the file will be wrong.

The actual process of download preparation can take several hours depending on the size and complexity of your file, you then go through a series of steps to convert the file created into an actual QuickBooks Desktop Company file. By the way, Intuit only offers a process for converting QBO to QuickBooks Desktop for Windows, they don’t offer a way to convert QBO data directly to QuickBooks for Mac.

None of this is the actual subject of this App Aware article, I simply am using this to illustrate the complexity with which QBO Users must go to return their data to QuickBooks Desktop using Intuit methodology. What is the subject of this App Aware article is a relatively new App called ’exportmybooks.com’ that can be found at the Intuit QuickBooks App Center and which “makes QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop conversion easy”.

It is a secure, easy, and fast solution that will convert your QBO data to QuickBooks Desktop whether you are using either the ‘Windows’ version or the ‘Mac’ version. Right now, you can sign-up for the App for FREE and use it as many times as you want.

So, let me take you through a summary of the steps that I experienced in my trial of this App using one of my sample QBO files called ‘QBMurph’.

(1) I went and located the App at the Intuit QuickBooks App Center

Exportmybooks.com can be found within the Intuit QuickBooks App Center

(2) Then I clicked the green ‘Get app now’ button and was taken to the standard OAuth page after logging into my QuickBooks Account so that I could authorize exportmybooks.com to connect to QBMurph (my QBO testing account).

exportmybooks_02 connects to QuickBooks Online via the OAuth-2 methodology like any other App within the Intuit App Center. You must authorize the connection with your QBO ID and Password.

(3) The first page of the exportmybooks.com App contains a video that explains the entire process. This same video can also be found on their Intuit QuickBooks App Center landing page. You really should watch this video before you continue the process so you know what to expect.

Be certain to watch the exportmybooks.com instructional video when you first log into the App so you know how the App works and what to expect.

One thing they explain is that their process can take from 15 minutes to 24 hours depending on the amount and complexity of data. OK, they can take a lot longer than Intuit claims it requires for their process, but if it’s right the first time, isn’t a little extra time worth it?

They also tell you that one you start the process you can log-off and they will send you an email when they are finished, and your file is ready. You will be able to ‘preview’ your data before it is downloaded.

(4) After watching the video choose the EXPORT button to initiate the process by selecting your ‘Conversion Date’ this is the same thing as your ‘opening date’ for your data file, and also the type of QuickBooks Desktop file you want, either ‘Windows’ or ‘Mac'.

Make the necessary 'Conversion Settings' including 'Date' and 'Desktop File Type' (Windows or Mac).

(5) The processing of the QBO file begins to convert it to a QuickBooks Desktop Backup file for either Windows or Mac. I chose to close my browser and wait for the email to arrive. As you can see for this round of testing the time was 1:31 PM.

No need to stick around after you start the conversion, exportmybooks.com will email you when the process is completed.

(6) As you can see in the email below, I got a notification that my conversion was completed at 2:05 PM (just 34 minutes later). The email provides the instruction to finalize your conversion.

exportmybooks.com sends you an email when your file

(7) When you log back in via the website using your Intuit credentials you are returned to the conversion page, but this time the ‘Report’ option is ready for viewing and the ‘Download’ option is also active.

When you log-in after the email comes your report of the outcome and the file download is ready to go.

So, here is my report:

The exportmybooks.com Audit Report gives you a comparison of the way your books look between QBO and the way they will look in QBD, it will also list any conversion errors that were experienced. You probably want to fix any recognized errors prior to proceeding.

Differences reflected between QBO and QBD reflect how they deal with accrual vs. cash basis in the same way that QBD doesn’t always properly perform cash-basis conversion of the balance sheet from the accrual-based data. But we won’t worry about this right now, we will wait to see the actual data once it’s imported to see if things match up. On the other hand, if you had 'conversion errors' show up on this report you would probably want to research those and fix them, then reload your data prior to exporting the file to QuickBooks Desktop.

(8) As soon as you click the Download button a screen will be displayed giving you the Password for your new file about to be downloaded, just click ‘Save File’ to finalize the download process.

Make certain you write-down this 'Password' because you are going to need it to log-in to the QuickBooks file you restore.

(9) Once the QuickBooks Backup type file is downloaded (which is a .QBB file) we will open QuickBooks, select Restore Local Backup file, then locate the file, and tell QuickBooks where we want this file to be restored and what you want to call the file, I will call it 'QBMurph' (what else).

The downloaded file from exportmybooks.com is a QuickBooks Backup file, once you locate it you will restore it like any other 'QuickBooks Backup' from within QuickBooks Desktop.

(10) Enter the ‘Password’ that you were provided just before you downloaded the file, NOT your QBO QuickBooks file password.

Be sure to enter the Password you were provided by exportmybooks.com for the file to open your new QuickBooks Desktop file, NOT your QBO QuickBooks file password.

After opening the file I ran a Balance Sheet for all dates (shown on the right below) and compared it to the Balance Sheet from QuickBooks Online (shown on the left below) and they matched except for how Desktop has displayed Retained Earnings as well as Net Income (while QBO has combined Retained Earnings into Net Income), but that’s an easy enough adjustment to make. Many ProAdvisors, Bookkeepers, or Accountants make such an adjustment regularly.

A side-by-side comparison of the Balance Sheets from QBO (on the left) and QBD (on the right) where the QBD report was produced from a file created by exportmybooks.com.

Everything else matched up as well, the Profit & Loss and each of the major reports. Then a quick look at transaction lists showed they matched transaction by transaction from QBO to QBD the data was replicated exactly.

I didn't have time to try this for QB for Mac, maybe a reader will give it a try and post their results, but the process appears to be just as simple from the video with the natural exception of how QB for Mac restores a backup.

What my limited testing for this 'App Aware feature' reveals to me is that this new App, ’exportmybooks.com’ located within the Intuit QuickBooks App Center makes QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop conversion a lot easier than the method Intuit offers to QBO Users. I would recommend that you give it a review of your own at their website: ’exportmybooks.com, or perhaps a trial from the Intuit QuickBooks App Center while the App is still available for FREE.
