A small business owner needs an affordable replacement for QuickBooks Desktop for Mac that supports class-based profit tracking across multiple businesses in a single file, without requiring bank feeds, invoicing, or inventory.

Existing alternatives lack the 'Classes' feature that allows tracking different businesses within a single company file. QuickBooks Online that supports classes is too expensive.
