I've struggled for about a year with the decision of what to use for accounting when Windows 10 goes out of support this year, as my only windows machine at work is a headless old windows box that I only use for running #QuickBooks.

It seems the entire #accounting industry* has gone to web-based solutions, and I can only conclude that they are all horrible and clunky as frick. And it's not from lack of trying on my part.

I'm also amazed at the number of web forms I encounter in the wild where pressing Enter doesn't do anything, even when the button in question is highlighted. UI designers don't know anything anymore.

The art of UI is really in its "Lord of the Flies" moment right now. :'(

* Which, to be clear, not the industry I'm in, but I'm beholden to the "solutions" they currently offer. Taking a HARD look at #GnuCash, because I'm just not feeling the web-based stuff.

Surprised to hear this. From what I can see so far, emphasis on the double-entry bookkeeping principle is actually part of how #GnuCash differentiates itself from #QuickBooks. Bearing that out are the few people that are saying the extra manual effort GnuCash's double-entry system requires is one of the reasons they prefer tools that don't expose them to it.

Agree that what makes various business accounts different is not the ledger but the special reports they generate.

MS Windows is so unusable now that my wife agrees it's time to come over to #linux. The problem we need to figure out is the bookkeeping software for our [currently very] small business. She is used to but not totally stuck on #Quickbooks, which doesn't run nicely on Linux. Also we'd rather not support Intuit and are resistant to a hosted cloud service.

Can anyone share experience with #GnuCash or similar for self-hosted small business accounting on Linux (Ubuntu/Pop_OS)? Boosts appreciated.

Mastodon may be free but boy has it convinced me to finally spend money to get off evil platforms. #Amazon and #Meta done, now to replace the #gmail account I've had since its eternal beta. Microsoft's going to be the hardest as my wife relies on #Quickbooks and wisely won't use the web version.

I currently use Harvest for my project management tool. Project budget tracking, time keeping, invoice management, etc.

I would like to move away from this to something that I can host locally.

I'm a single person company.

The minimum that I would need is:
- time tracking
- project budget tracking
- project expenses
- invoice sending
Nice to have:
- automated invoice reminders
- multiple currency support
- reports (time spent, annual reports, etc)

Anybody have experience (I'm not looking for search results, I'm looking for someone who has actually USED software) that is a #selfhosted version of #quickbooks or similar? Think about keeping track of the books for a small business (1-3 employees, 20-30 vendors) #selfhosting

Today I edited a file I have not touched in at least 30 years, since the days of Windows 3.1. And it still does something on Windows Server 2025. My customer can now once again use Outlook to send an email from QuickBooks. WOW. I might not have room to set up a 486 clone and CRT to run Windows 3 but history dies hard. #retrocomputing #windows #quickbooks

I nominate #quickbooks for the worst-piece-of-shit software ever created... for 30 yrs running.

Quickbooks shows me 20 popups every time I log in, as if I'm a brand new user. Where do they save the "don't this this again" option? In a fucking cookie.

Admit it, Intuit, you hate your users. You always have.

OK, maybe this is finally the year that I'll find the time to move over to Xero.

@Topslakr

But then why didn't the memory compression make it usable with 4GB?
It's like it just decided one day that 4GB wasn't enough and started running like molasses (this is accessed via VNC, so swapping is doubly harmful).
I replace the 2x2GB sticks with 2x4GB, and everything is way more than "right as rain."

I gotta learn #GnuCash quickly so I can get off of this benighted software. This is my only PC and I only use it for #QuickBooks Pro Desktop (I will not use their cloud "solution").

On the one hand, I hate QuickBooks.
On the other hand, I make a lot of money off of their stupid engineering.

Where is the clear, official answer to "Can I still use #Quickbooks Desktop after Intuit stops supporting it? What features will stop working after May 31?"
It's being asked all over the Internet - but I don't know which answers to trust.

A while back I found an #OpenSource alternative to #QuickBooks that did everything I needed -- invoicing for services (no products or inventory), simple reports, and bank account syncing -- but I can't find it! There seem to be a lot of free or low cost options out there so I thought asking here might help me find the one I was drawn to a few months ago. Suggestions?

@sphakos Yes, that sounds like #Intuit. I suppose your #Quicken and #Quickbooks data is next.

The connection between #QuickBooks and the data files is astonishingly fragile. It's brittle, and it breaks a lot. I don't know any other program that has so much trouble maintaining a reliable connection to it's database. They have their own File Repair Tools because they can't build reliability into their product.
