Hi all :)

I’m setting up a small business in the UK, and need some accounting software to keep track of everything, and generate invoices, that sort of thing. I tried Wave a few years ago, and it looks like it does what I need, but is US based and proprietary.

It has the option of linking to your bank account too, and automatically pulling your transactions etc. This is quite important, as I’m trying to get diagnosed with ADHD, and have a terrible memory. I won’t remember to manually enter transactions regularly.

Being able to use it on Android and Windows / Linux would be ideal. I can self host it if there are any options that work.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

I love GNU Cash for my business.

The only thing I dislike is the search to find an accountant who will use it to review my books at year-end (only 1 out of 10 accountants will use it). But that’s a social problem that gets better the more people use GNU Cash and pay industry experts to work with it

I also use it for stock trading. The Python bindings let me write scripts to analyaze the performance of my past trades. I like that its all offline. I can use the GUI for entry and easily write my own code against the data. Also there is a large and helpful community on the mailing list.

That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought about how I would get the information to an account yet. I need to look into how that would work for whichever software I use. Thanks for the heads up :)

The files are stupid small. You could email them, but I usually use an encrypted file transfer tool
