DOME monthly bookkeeping record #612

I am looking to an alternative business/accounting site that caters to patriotic businesses. Quick books or intuit charges me for services I don't want or need. The charge has gotten outrageous.
I heard an ad one day about a website that caters to patriotic Americans but I didn't write down their name. I know my Freeper friends will come through as always.
Buy low, sell high.
Patriotsoftware.com is one I often hear advertised

Not a service. Free accounting software. https://www.gnucash.org/
What are you using it for? Personal? Business?
Quick books is overkill for personal stuff—but having it for small business was a time and tax saver.
For personal stuff, I just use Excel. I download my bank stuff in it and just maintain it like a general ledger from AC101.
I am contractor and need one that creates invoices from estimates, partial progress or full.
Last time I checked CPA’s only accept Quickbooks data for tax returns. Maybe different now.
Woke avoidance - bump for later....
bfl
Wave and Xero are both good and less expensive than QBO.
Most CPAs will accept the annual data in different formats, although QBO is one of the standards.
I like Wave since basic accounting is free.
This is advertised as farm accounting, but it also does small business. You can try it for free, i think.
They used to sell the software, now they rent it, not sure what the annual fees are any more.
I still use an old version they sold me, never upgraded to the new versions. very straight forward and easy to use.
Quickbooks sets the standard for small business software.
Everything else is lesser.
Being a programmer i developed my own sytem using c# over my on sqlserver database...
That’s the one. Thanks. I’ll check it out.
Business. 2 employees.
I have used QB since 2005. Once Microsoft bought up Intuit things really went downhill. Any time I called for support they spent a ton of time trying to get me to switch from my Desktop to their new cloud based monthly fee software.
I stuck with QB Pro 2019 as long as I could but they stopped the online payments due to ‘security’ concerns. So I tried to upgrade to QB 2020 it wouldn’t install - no Win 7 support. So I had to upgrade to Win 8.1.
Now they say I will need to go to Win 11 because Intuit does not support their software on platforms Microsoft does not support.
All of the alternatives I have looked at were cloud based.
I finally decided that I will keep QB 2020 on 8.1 running in my virtual box and if Intuit wants to drop payment processing that will be their loss, there are other options for payment.
A word of advise: If you want to keep your current version of QB Desktop make sure that Auto Updates in Quickbooks is OFF. That’s what bit me - Intuit pushed out an update that killed all versions not running on a Microsoft supported platform.
and this helps us how?
