I own a small business and am currently using quickbooks, however I don’t really make enough to justify the price I am paying for it. I did have a deal for roughly 3 months which made it cheap, however the price has gone up now.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any self hosted applications that support business like tracking. Would something like firefly work for this? I am not really needing budgeting.
I’m a fan of beancount and it’s corresponding web interface fava.
Since the underlying format is human readable text, it’s easy to edit by hand, and you can send the raw file to your accountant as-is and they should have no issues understanding it.
Do you want to be able to access it from a browser? Gnucash is a standalone program, but you could edit the file from anywhere as long as you have access to it.
I’ve never used Gnucash for business purposes, but it’s certainly capable. There’s a learning curve to it but it’s not too bad. I never got online banking set up with it, but you can import .csv, etc.
Maybe do some gtk Broadway funkyness if they feel like playing god and want browser access
