NolaPro has an online solution, in addition to its Windows and Linux desktop versions. Web-based plans start at $9.99/month, but the desktop version is free. You can add a payroll module for $35. CNET shows it has over 100,000 downloads and is rated #6 in accounting and billing software. However, the CNET list where they are #6 has a bunch of other types of software on it, so they may be #1 in accounting.
Connected Core Accounting appears to be Mac-centric, but PC-capable. The website explains that you can have a Mac based business on the front end (let’s say you run a design firm) but cross-platform capabilities so you can talk to your customer service or accounting departments where PC’s rule. Your PC users, including an outside accountant, can use Connected on a Windows computer at the same time as your Mac users, with identical features and information shared. Software starts at $399 and you can download a free trial.
Sage 50: Most business owners have heard of Intuit’s QuickBooks, but Peachtree is equally well known. It is now called Sage 50. This is the package that many businesses choose when they know they are going to scale up and need a full enterprise resource planning solution (ERP). It does accounting, but the core of it revolves around integration of other software, over time usually. The base package starts at $269 for one user. 30-day free trial download.
Sage One is the cloud offering of Sage 50 (more or less) and at $29/mo (after the 30-day free trial), you are running a full featured business management program, including accounting, project management, and collaboration functions. When you consider that the Sage 50 Complete package (1-5 users) is $369, this may be a viable option.
AccountEdge is accounting for Windows, Mac, and mobile. The basic Mac package is only $99, but the full Mac and Windows versions are $299. The iOS mobile version is free and synchronizes, via DropBox, with the desktop version. They offer free trial versions of each.
Wave Accounting is free. Lots of Web-based accounting providers offer a free trial or a light free version, but Wave is totally free. No limits. They do this with an ad-supported model they call Business Savings. Inside Wave, you’ll see “savings offers” from companies like Amex, Staples, Dell, Moo and others. These companies are paying Wave a sponsor fee, or an advertisement that is akin to a coupon, but this is how Wave maintains a free and powerful accounting app for your small business.
Kashoo has an award-winning iPad app that caught my attention. Their Web-based version gets high marks, too. I had heard about the company, but thought they were focused on invoicing only. I was wrong. They are a full-fledged accounting software package, in the cloud. They have a free version that is limited to 20 transactions per month, but that works well for many microbusiness owners. Paid plans start at $16/month.
Zoho is a popular cloud-based office solution and they have an accounting software tool called Zoho Books. It starts at $24/mo for two users. It recently added a feature so you can pull in your bank and credit card statements automatically. And I like that they have an Aging summary high in the dashboard so you can see the age of your invoices and which ones are overdue.
Open Source Accounting
Edoceo Imperium does accounting, but bills itself as business management software, so you’ll see additional functions in it. Linux-based only. GnuCash is free accounting software tool with installs for the major operating systems (OS).
Gnu allows you to import QIF files, too. TurboCash is based in South Africa, but it works anywhere, of course. Like many open source players, the software itself is free, but support is not. They have over 80,000 users. LedgerSMB is an open source accounting and ERP program which offers businesses accounting, plus the ability to manage their operations, track money, inventory, and more.
