Should I import my historical QuickBook invoices into mHelpDesk?

No, we do not support importing past financial data from accounting systems into mHelpDesk. mHelpDesk is not a replacement for QuickBooks. You should continue using QuickBooks to look up historical transactions. 

Will QuickBooks Online syncing work on my Mac?

Yes, QuickBooks Online works with Mac products because it is cloud-based and our easy-to-use integration tool makes it possible.

How does QuickBooks know what account a new item belongs to?

When you export a new item created in mHelpDesk to QuickBooks, our tool will prompt you to select the chart of accounts that the item belongs to. This is identical to setting up a new item in QuickBooks, only that it is done through our sync tool.
