Examples:
- Last calendar day of month is Sunday. QMac would schedule transaction on prior Friday.
- Last calendar day of month is Bank Holiday. QMac would schedule transaction on first available prior bank business day. For example last calendar day of month is a Monday federal holiday. QMac would schedule this payment on the prior Friday.

Worth mentioning but the second is more challenging as it requires a source of data to ID the bank holidays, and is country dependent. So this would need to be available for both US and Canada.
This is discussed above in a few places but mostly:

Both would be nice... first one is a lower hanging fruit ;-)

If the 15th is on a Saturday, it is moved to the previous business day (Friday unless that's a holiday). If the 15th is on Sunday, it is moved to the next business day (Monday unless that's a holiday).
My night job is just paid every other Thursday.
Other transactions are on the same day of the month but need adjusted based on whether or not the date is a weekend/holiday. Some require moving to the previous business day and others move to the NEXT business day.
Related to this: I need to be able to configure the holidays that are used above. Some transactions don't treat some holidays the same (so that if a due date falls on it, it's still due that day). For example, my day job includes Truman Day as a holiday -- that is definitely one that I'd have to add but only use for the paycheck not other TXNs.
My recommendations would be more like just have the reminder go it a day or so sooner, and maybe use the "business days only" option.
The nicest thing about this is that it ALSO had a date picker on the right side that after you do all of your selections, you can STILL pick any random set of dates manually as well. This was really helpful.
For those that care, it is:
CALENDAR AND SCHEDULING
Repeat optionsWhen you create a Calendar or To Do entry and select Repeats, Notes displays the Repeat Options dialog box.
Specify When the Meeting Repeats
If you select...then you can...Daily; Select a value (from every day to every 31st day) to tell Notes how often the entry should repeat.
Weekly: Select
a value (from every week to every eighth week) to tell Notes how often
the entry should repeat, then select the day of the week the entry
should fall on.
Monthly by Date: Select
a value (from every month to every 12th month) to tell Notes how often
the entry should repeat, then select the date (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on)
you want the repeating entry to fall on each month.
Select "Count from the end of the month" if you want the repeating entry to appear in the Calendar beginning next month.
Monthly by Day: Selecta value (from every month to every 12th month) to tell Notes how often
the entry should repeat, then select the day of the month (1st Sunday,
1st Monday, and so on) you want the repeating entry to fall on.
Select "Count from the end of the month" if you want the repeating entry to appear in the Calendar beginning next month.
Yearly: Select a value (from every year to every 10th year) to tell Notes how often the entry should repeat.Enter a starting date in the "Specify How Long the Meeting Repeats" section for the yearly entry.
Custom: Selectdates from the date picker and click the "Add selected date" button to
add the dates you select to the list of dates on the right side of the
dialog box.
To remove a date from the list of dates, select the date and press DELETE.
Specify How Long the Meeting Repeats
You can change the time frame for the repeating entry by doing the following:
designating a period of time (in days, weeks, months, or years) for the
repeat entry to appear in the Calendar
Specify Exceptions
You can make a selection in the "If a Meeting date
occurs on a weekend" field to instruct Notes what to do if the entry
falls on a weekend day.
So I CAN edit the date when I enter the transaction of course. But it seems odd to me to allow dates in "business days" in one part of this reminder feature, but not in another (where I wanted to leverage it today).
One would think the algorithm is already in the code, and a UI change could be made to apply in a second context.

Thank you.
Hope it helps.
I tried your suggestion but there is now way to select something like the 3rd last business day of every month.
Very little programming effort for a big win is usability.
I'd note that no one has voted for this idea in the blue box at the top of this thread. (It probably had a few votes on the old forum site that got lost in transition to the current site earlier this year; any topics which had significant votes were manually updated.) So, if this is an idea you'd like to see implemented, go to the top of the page and click the small gray triangle to register your vote. The more votes an idea gets, the more likely the developers are to prioritize it.
I have not encountered this but it seems useful.
