• Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph

  I use ledger: https://ledger-cli.org/ I believe this same plain text format is used by other tools, which you can find info about here: https://plaintextaccounting.org/ (In particular a lot of people seem to use hledger and beancount) The ledger is written using a text editor. The purpose of the software is to add everything up, calculate the balances and make sure everything balances. I keep all of my 12 years of... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph

  I'm surprised that there is no mentions of a great hacker-friendly plain-text accounting software called `ledger` https://ledger-cli.org/ in this thread. It has amazing documentation when it comes to understanding basic principles of double-entry bookkeeping and goes through many typical situations and usecases. There are also several forks, most popular and advanced is `hledger` https://hledger.org/ (h is for... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide

  If it helps anyone, I wrote a blog post[0] (based on this comment[1]) explaining how double-entry accounting works. I have recently been thinking about building my own program that implements double-entry accounting in a more approachable form for individuals. I’m not sure if pure accounting concepts are ideal for the average person for keeping track of their budget like how they are essential for businesses. My... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Accounting for Computer Scientists – Martin Kleppmann's Blog

  I learnt all of this by using ledger[0] and, of course, reading its manual. I've been maintaining my own accounts for more than a decade now. It's fun being able to plot my overall wealth and expenses over time. [0] https://ledger-cli.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Accounting for Computer Scientists – Martin Kleppmann's Blog

  Shameless plug: some time ago I wrote a booklet [0] about principles of accounting with examples in Ledger [1], aimed at personal/home finance (as opposed to corporate finance).

• QB desktop kicking us out

  This question comes up often. I'm a fan of manager.io (it's not as good as QBD, but for many folks it's good enough). Another option sometimes mentioned is GnuCash, which I haven't tried. Source: 5 months ago

• Make Your Voice Heard

  I get your sentiment, but Intuit doesn't care about the protest emails they receive. You don't think they didn't know there would be some response? It would be interesting to have been a fly on the wall with their conversations on this. The answer is to find an accounting program that works for you. It really is voting with your dollars. There have been many suggestions I have read. There is manager.io, wave,... Source: about 1 year ago

• Accounting Software Recommendations?

  Another route would be to try a local install of http://manager.io, but that's a bit more web based and he might find it off-putting. Source: about 1 year ago

• Quickbooks Desktop price more than doubled for 2023?

  I've been shadow-bookkeeping using manager.io for 5 months now. Manager.io isn't quite as mature as QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2021 but for routine micro-business bookkeeping it's just as good as QB. Everyone has different needs so manager.io may or may not work for you. Source: about 1 year ago

• Opinions on excel book keeping

  There are many, many things that Excel can do. Proper bookkeeping is not one of them. Do not do this. Normally I would recommend QuickBooks, but they're being mega-douches with their price increases this year. But literally any bookkeeping software would be better than Excel. Manager (https://manager.io) is a new desktop option I've learned about recently. It's free for basic stuff, give it a whirl. Or try... Source: about 1 year ago
