1. I assume you want free...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbooks

"An accounting/bookkeeping application for small and medium sized businesses. The goal is to provide functionally similar to and potentially better than QuickBooks."


Crap... Only runs under Linux....

10. Quickbooks is your best bet or Microsoft Money 2006 Small Business.
Edited on Fri Apr-14-06 05:03 AM by IsIt1984Yet
Peachtree was mentioned, but it's far less 'user-friendly' and I think more expensive.

I am a "computer-geek" with a special emphasis on accounting. I work with mid-size and small businesses.

Here's the MS Money link: http://www.microsoft.com/money/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=001

Is there something you have against Quicken?
