Straight answers
Before you bring SideAce into the business.
Who is SideAce built for?
SideAce is built for freelancers, independent contractors, sole proprietors, consultants, tradespeople, creators, and people managing one or more side hustles. Its profession setup changes labels and defaults without splitting your records across separate apps.
Does SideAce work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. The direct Mac edition supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 10.15 or later. The Microsoft Store edition supports x64 PCs running Windows 10 version 19041 or later and Windows 11.
Does SideAce require an account?
No. The current app has no SideAce account or publisher-operated cloud sync. Your working records are stored locally.
Is SideAce accounting or tax software?
No. SideAce is a business recordkeeping and planning tool. Its signals and estimates are there to support decisions, not replace an accountant, tax professional, lawyer, or financial adviser.
Can I back up and export my records?
Yes. SideAce supports password-protected authenticated encrypted backups, plus user-initiated PDF and CSV outputs. You control where those files are stored.
What happens after I purchase?
For a direct Mac purchase, Stripe confirms the one-time payment and this website provides the separately licensed notarized download. For Windows, Microsoft completes the purchase, installation, and updates through Microsoft Store. Keep the applicable receipt for support.
