Verified What version of Quickbooks do you have It should not matter that you are sharing the files currently, the backup you make will simply allow the file to be opened on a windows computer that has Quickbooks installed.

Im going to assume 2014 or 15.here are your step by step instructions.

With the company file open in QuickBooks for Macintosh, select the File menu and select Backup to QuickBooks for Windows (it is also possible to click the Windows Backup icon on the far right side of the iconbar).

In the Save As field, type a name for this file or accept the default provided by the program.

In the Where field, it is best to simply save this file to your Desktop.

You will receive notification when the process is complete at which time an instructional PDF file is offered for printing.

Its a good idea to print this for the QuickBooks Windows user to refer to when restoring the file.

The file has been automatically appended with the required.QBB extension necessary for restoring into QuickBooks for Windows.

Note: This file can now be transported via CD-ROM, Thumb-drive, flash or other USB device.

Intuit does not recommend emailing these files as there is the potential for unseen damage to the file.

In QuickBooks for Windows, click the File menu and select Restore.

Locate the.QBB file provided by the Mac user.

It is recommended that the.QBB file be copied from the transport device to the computer desktop for easy location) In the restore window, select the.QBB file (from the desktop) choose a location on your computer where you would like the file to be restored to and click Restore.

At the conclusion of the conversion process the file will be open in QuickBooks for Windows and ready for review.

In Mac 2015 and later Mac 2015 made a few changes to how it creates a copy that can be restored for windows.

QuickBooks now verifies the file automatically at the beginning of the conversion process.

Also if you have Dropbox set up, there will be a button that will automatically take you to the Dropbox folder making file transfer just a bit easier.

With a company file open go to File Save File for Accountant.
