I use Gnucash on my Ubuntu installation and according to the literature it works on Windows too:
LINKS: http://www.gnucash.org/ http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows EDIT: What do you want the accounting software for; home or business? Only asking as there are some decent freeware apps available for Windows but they are for home accounts only. Gnucash will do business accounts which is what I use it for.

I am only planning on using it at home. My wife wants to keeps account of her personal records and she is somewhat computer chalanged. So, the more basic the better.

Might consider using Excel if all you need to do is trach stuff and see account balances.

If you're not afraid to use something by M$ they have Accounting express 2007 for free. I guess it supposed to give them an inroads to the quickbooks users. I have it but havent used it much but the price is right

Freeware Apps:
AceMoney Lite: www.mechcad.net Money Manager Ex: www.thezeal.com/software/ Home Bookkeeping Lite: www.keepsoft.com/hbkl/index.html If you do decide to go the Excel route then visit the MS Office site and download one of the many free templates they have - you'll find a suitable accounting one in the list. |

Feedback on gnucash
I have tried to install gnucash without success. However, I have read that there are somethings that do not work in windows. The last thing that I need is an accounting package that is not totally solid.
It was worth a shot and appears to be a neat program. I am sure that there will be a version of gnucash that will be great and work properly in windows sometime in the future. |

I have looked at each of the suggested accounting packages and decided to try out Money Maneger Ex. It is open source, basic and seems to be a well thought out package.
Without your help I would not have found these links. Thanks. Last edited by Roberto; 07-08-2007 at 12:12 PM. |
