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'm looking for a solution for small business use, so it's not just me that would be potentially using it. I'm tempted by xero, but also looking at akaunting. I'd like to stick to a desktop solution, but unfortunately, the cloud crap is just SO compelling. :P

My primary concerns are:

* FOSS if possible

* Web-based if not

* Easy to use (I love using a text file for everything, but it wouldn't be a good fit for this business use)

* Not evil?!? XD

Features I *must* have:

* Double-entry ledger

* Check printing (yes, really ;)

* Reports

* Bank account reconciliation

* Auto reconciliation would be nice

Thank you, #fedi!!!

nostr:npub1l3gpk6vrudg8r67swqlex5alv9ch59s4lw46kk6hekuxe2n3aczsyqvu48 as desktop I have used https://www.gnucash.org/ . It really covers all the basic needs (accounting software must be rigid, and this is often reflected in the interfaces...).

You can share the file, nextcloud or whatever service, but is not multiuser.
