G'day all,
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've been using SQL-Ledger successfully for about 3 years now without any problem. It's got a very active user base with quite a few aussies, and it's GPL. I use a very small part of it's capabilities (for instance, I don't do inventory etc) but I'm much happier with it than I was with MYOB.
I have recommended SQL-Ledger to a number of CPA customers and have expressed
satisfaction with the software.
SQL-Ledger has Tax rules that are parameter driven and are defined by the user.
Even if a user pays for the Documents that comes with support, SQL-Ledger
is worth every cent. One may choose to install it and is not required to
buy the documents and support. There are mailing lists support that's available.
