   Easiest way to todo Accounting in the UK

   I can only speak to the UK, but I have found FreeAgent to be an amazing tool for running a limited company in the UK.

   I have managed to integrate all of my bank accounts, Barclays, wise, capital on tap and have payments only auto explain, that and their API enables me to feed in Stripe invoices automatically and have them marry up with payments. Making day to day accounting easy.

   I log in once a week and everything is just there. Once a month I press submit payroll and I am basically done, no need to pay for an expensive payroll service.

   🏁 Competitors: Xero

   👍 Pros:    Great value for the money

• Intuits Mint is garbage this year, need other recs for tracking expenses.

  Https://gnucash.org/ is a pretty solid free and open source option. The catch being its UI probably isn't as refined as some other options, and I'm not sure how/if online banking connections work, so can be a bit manual. Source: 12 months ago

• Spending tracking app that meets my needs

  Could checkout https://gnucash.org/. Probably not as nice as a UI as some other options, but its quite robust in terms of tracking your finances. It has a budgeting feature, but I never used it. Worst case could use another app just for budgeting and GnuCash for general tracking of the current state of your accounts, and generating reports and such. Source: about 1 year ago

• Are the GnuCash team all dead?

  As of today (2/22/2023), gnucash.org seems to be up and running. Do the young folks still use "woot" as an exclamation of delight or is that already passe??😄. Source: about 1 year ago

• Are the GnuCash team all dead?

  I guess PART of my concern is that when you have a blank screen at gnucash.org for too long, it APPEARS to the outside world... People who might wish to consider using and supporting gnucash... that there is a problem that the organization is unable to handle and therefore the question arises "Are the team at gnucash competent or incompetent"?

• Are the GnuCash team all dead?

  I am a fan of Open Source projects and I've known about GnuCash for some time. I've started an online personal finance course that uses GnuCash, HOWEVER, the gnucash.org site seems to have been down for days or weeks lately. What's up. I thought the pandemic was over and the 'ronavirus was going into obscurity... Am I wrong? Did the team all die off? Are they not taking this seriously? OR... Is there actually...
