Hey #AskFedi,

Is *anyone* out there using FOSS for accounting?

I'm struggling with Quickbooks desktop (which you can only get as a subscription now, unless you pay four figures for an enterprise license).

#Xero comes highly recommended to me, but I'm loathe to go "#cloud" for accounting. Very loathe indeed.

But while I want to try FOSS for my personal accounting, I just can't make the leap for business yet. I wish I could. But I was wondering if anyone out there already has.

I've been using a combination of Denaro and LibreOffice Calc for the occasional spreadsheet.

There's also GNU Cash, but I don't have much experience with it.

Someone on this thread shared an excellent post from Linux Weekly News about using GnuCash as their main business accounting software.

It seem very capable, but the import process form QuickBooks is kinda fiddly. It also seemed like creating check formats for printing was a bit difficult. It's on my second tier to investigate further. I've played with it here and there over the years.
