Is anyone aware of a Linux-based bookkeeping or accouynting package - one that can conform to Australian accounting and tax rules?
We're contemplating an upgrade to our Quickbooks Pro ($599 - $1,494), or cross-grade to MYOB ($596 - $1,494), but we're a Linux company, so a Linux solution would be better (and our bookkeeper is reasonably IT literate as well!).
I don't know how each is/is not adapted to Aussie tax and accounting they are but here are two complete and supported packages to investigate:
Fitrix Accounting advertise in the Linux Journal each month. http://www.fitrix.com/accounting.htm
There is also SQL Ledger which is open source. http://www.sql-ledger.org/
There are several 'accounting' projects on sourceforge but all mostly 1/30th baked.
