Hi all :)

I’m setting up a small business in the UK, and need some accounting software to keep track of everything, and generate invoices, that sort of thing. I tried Wave a few years ago, and it looks like it does what I need, but is US based and proprietary.

https://www.waveapps.com/

It has the option of linking to your bank account too, and automatically pulling your transactions etc. This is quite important, as I’m trying to get diagnosed with ADHD, and have a terrible memory. I won’t remember to manually enter transactions regularly.

Being able to use it on Android and Windows / Linux would be ideal. I can self host it if there are any options that work.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

    I love GNU Cash for my business.

    The only thing I dislike is the search to find an accountant who will use it to review my books at year-end (only 1 out of 10 accountants will use it). But that’s a social problem that gets better the more people use GNU Cash and pay industry experts to work with it

    I also use it for stock trading. The Python bindings let me write scripts to analyaze the performance of my past trades. I like that its all offline. I can use the GUI for entry and easily write my own code against the data. Also there is a large and helpful community on the mailing list.

      That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought about how I would get the information to an account yet. I need to look into how that would work for whichever software I use. Thanks for the heads up :)
