[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1644396"] Yes, your iMac will communicate with your Windows PC, presuming it is running a recent OS (Windows 7 or later). While there is a version of QuickBooks for Mac, you will probably want to run a Windows environment on the Mac (which it can do) in order to run QuickBooks for Windows on it and keep the versions on the PC and the iMac compatible. I believe Crossover can handle this, but you may want or need to just install a full-blown Windows environment using Parallels or VirtualBox (et al). The biggest "pitfall" of using a Mac in an office is that users generally wonder why they didn't switch years ago, find substitutes for their old Windows software and eventually turn the office into an all-Mac operation, which can get expensive. :) [/QUOTE]
