Manager.io Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• 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

• What's your recommended budgeting app? (2023)

  Manager.io, it's a free double bookkeeping accounting software the type that accountants use. Source: over 1 year ago

• Quoting, sales orders, PO software

  Maybe take a look at https://manager.io - It's more on the financial end of things but I know it can do quotes and tie quotes/invoices/orders to customer & project records. Source: over 1 year ago

• Quickbooks Elder Abuse

  (1) gnucash.org (free) - I haven't used it. I would like to use it but it doesn't appear to support organizations with multiple classes (QB terminology) or divisions (manager.io terminology). Source: over 1 year ago

• Alternatives to QuickBooks

  Does manager.io handle bank downloads and credit card transaction activity? That matters to me if I am going to test it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Quickbooks Desktop 2023 Price Increases - Alternatives?

  I do the books for several larger entities and I tried manager.io as well. The interface is simple and for my simpler entities it worked great. The thing that turned me off was the balance sheet--instead of totaling liabilities and equity, it totaled assets and liabilities to arrive at net assets, leaving equity all by itself. It's not by any means incorrect, but it just feels silly, and I couldn't find a way to... Source: over 1 year ago

• Quickbooks Desktop 2023 Price Increases - Alternatives?

  I'm bookkeeper for two entities, one simple and one complex. I'm currently experimenting with manager.io for the simple entity. The jury is still out on that, although I'm hopeful. If manager.io can't handle the simple entity then I won't even bother trying the complex. Source: over 1 year ago

• Quickbooks for Mac vs...

  3) If QB2019 had better export, I'd have no problem moving to something like GnuCash, or perhaps this manager.io thing that I haven't heard about until tonight. Or I suppose I could just start with 1/1/2022 and re-download transactions from the bank. Source: over 1 year ago

• Gnucash – open-source accounting software for personal and small businesses

  Https://manager.io is also nice, although perhaps targeted more towards small businesses. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Question—recommendations for replacement of Quickbooks

  I'm a big believer in manager.io for some uses (I even made a video about it!) but we really need to know what OP's accounting needs are before jumping to recommending a specific package. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Have a look at manager.io, you'll never look back. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A self-hosted variant/alternative to GnuCash?

  If you need multiple simultaneous access, you might want to look into manager.io which has both a self-hosted and a cloud-type version. Source: about 2 years ago

• Finance App Recommendation

  Some bank accounts like upbank will automatically categorise things for you. I'm using manager.io, a normal accounting program that you can send straight to your accountant. Source: about 2 years ago

  There are free open source accounting programs, check out Manager (manager.io). Source: over 2 years ago

• Unable to "log into Intuit" account - keeping me COMPLETELY locked out of Quickbooks

  I do the bookkeeping for two companies. I've started shadow-bookkeeping one of the companies in Manager (see manager.io). A discussion of the pros & cons of Manager vs. Quickbooks is out of scope for this thread. I'll just say that Manager is a very interesting animal! Source: over 2 years ago
