Open Source Small Business Accounting?

c0y0te · 2006-01-21 20:16:12

Is there a decent open source alternative to the likes of Sage accounting software? The kind of thing I have in mind is for people who are either sole traders or small outfits with maybe 1-5 folks working for them. I'm hearing that sage is the leader in this area, but I wanted to know if there are any OS alternatives…

I'm hearing that sage is the leader in this area, but I wanted to know if there are any OS alternatives before going any further. Thanks in advance for any advice/info you can offer.

checkout turbocash also.

Have a search on sourceforge.net too. The PHP based ones seems best.

TBH I ended up going with quickbooks

Check out Quasar Accounting, GNU accounting software, I18Nised with a "commercial" licence option i.e. they provide tech support, warranty etc.
