I will second PostBooks by xTupple. We even have an accounting firm in the valey that is already familiar with it, but I can not recall the name - Hans would know. It is full multi user, windows, linux, etc.and you have full access to the back end data. It is more geared to a traditional sales / service operation then a pure service operation but I liked it. For what it is worth I do have a degree in accounting ;) When I looked into it things like FreshBooks and MoneyDance did not even hit my radar. If they are free and open then I will certainly give them a look. But give postbooks a look - they are a darn good system - at least as far as an accountant is concerned. And if you grow big enough they have full commercial support at well. http://sourceforge.net/projects/postbooks/ http://www.xtuple.com/ On Wed, Feb 2, 2011 at 5:40 PM, keith smith wrote: > > I think FreshBooks has potential!! > > ------------------------ > Keith Smith > > --- On *Wed, 2/2/11, Eric Cope * wrote: > > > From: Eric Cope > Subject: Re: OSS Accounting Advice > To: "Main PLUG discussion list" > Date: Wednesday, February 2, 2011, 4:43 PM > > > I am not sure of your requirements, but I've heard good things about > freshbooks.
