I am interested in feedback on construction accounting software for the mac. I am considering the quickbooks by Intuit, if anybody is on that system, are they happy with it?

Quickbooks is no longer made/updated on the Mac platform. In fact, Intuit has a poor track record of properly updating it's entire Mac line.
MYOB is often recommended as a good Mac accounting package.
QB for mac stopped at QB4. You would also have to buy Aatrix for the payroll. My bookkeeper uses QB 2002 so I ended up buying a PC just for the QB. Everything else I still prefer mac.
Before I went that route I test drove MYOB and Goldenseal

You can download both of them and try them. Goldenseal was developed by a contractor.
I think Buildworks also makes one for mac

I'm a loyal Mac user myself and just made the swith from the last version of
QuickBooks for Mac to AccountEdge-MYOB myself a few months ago. So far so good
with no real complaints at all. In fact in many respects I like it a lot better
than QB but that might also be tainted by my strong Mac bias. You can click
