Hi All,
After cracking the shits that my mother-in-law is forever telling her friends that I work with computers and ending up coming home every night to fix someone elses computer problems, I have decided to get myself and ABN and start charging for the privilege (and as I found out 4 weeks ago that I am having my first baby the money will come in very handy too).
Congratulations! :)
Now I guess most of this will only come in useful when/if I get Debian running fully under my ibook, but is anyone running their business finances under linux? I am not registered for GST as this will only be a part time thing, but is there any GST software under linux?
Not me. I use Quickbooks on Windows. It would make my day if there was something for Linux that does what Quickbooks can do (in its user friendly manner, preferably) but afaik there is none. You could run Quickbooks under WINE, I guess.
I would be very interested in finding out how/if people are doing this, to what extent it works for them, any problems or advise about using this software under linux and what software they are using?
There was a mention of SQL Ledger. I had a good look at the online demo and unfortunately it doesn't seem to suit my needs. There are some key features that I need for billing my clients (such as recurring billing, reminders of overdue invoices, etc) which are not in said program.
I'm no Quickbooks fan, but of all the accounting software out there Quickbooks is the most affordable (imho) and has the bare essential features needed to bill clients and produce the right information for the tax return && BAS.
HTH.
Regards, Gonzalo
