Banana for Mac (Intel)
Although Banana Accounting is a Window application it can run on MAC system with the tool CrossOver Mac, which makes Windows applications work on a Mac (Intel) environment without having to install Windows. You work on your Mac as usual. The Windows programs, thus also Banana Accounting, are being launched in their own window like any other Mac program.
Banana Accounting for Mac is a product that contains both the CrossOver Mac Professional and the Banana Accounting licenses. The cost of the combined bundle Banana Accounting/CrossOver Mac Professional is CHF 175.- (+ VAT/Sales tax) or Eur 116,- (+ VAT/Sales tax).
It is therefore possible to do a trial installation, trying out all the functions. Whatever question you may have, we are here for you. Codeweavers CrossOver is available as a demo version for 30 days and Banana Accounting can be downloaded and used at no cost up till 50 transactions.
