I've got to manage our HOA account. The current management company has a quickbooks file set up that they have given me. I'm going to need to set it up on my mac at home (desktop, not laptop). For those of you that have used it, is the online subscription easy to use? Could I login from another computer (i.e., windows?)? Or should I just purchase the quicbooks for mac program to download to the computer?
TIA

From what I remember the online and Mac versions are pretty much the same and lack a lot of features of the windows version. Should be able to handle simple HOA bookkeeping though

I moved my qb company file to qb online a few years ago and integrated it with our business management software. Unless it has changed recently, you would have to convert the windows qb (assuming the management company uses the windows version) to qb for Mac.
A few things to consider:
Qb for Mac company files can't be read by qb for windows. It would have to be converted back and forth each time. It also can't be converted to previous versions of qb. So if you get 2017 and the management company uses 2016 for windows, they would be able to convert it back.
If you will be the only person using it, this wouldn't be a problem. If your management company or anyone else, like a CPA, needs to view or make changes to it, online might be the best route. With the online version we use, we get three users and CPA access. We like the number of people that can access it and everyone has access to he most current version.

If the previous version was a desktop version it will upload to the online site easily. Really easy to use. I'd say easier than the desktop version if you don't know anything about accounting.
You can access it anywhere which is great.
