why don't you check out TurboCASH? it's open source, but don't let
that throw you off.
TurboCASH is the first, and probably still the only, full-featured
open-source accounting software, comparable to Quickbooks, Sage,
Pastel, Peachtree, MYOB, and all of the other off-the-shelf,
commercial accounting packages.
TurboCASH is much more than a simple 'home finances' or small business
bookkeeping system. It aims at businesses with 1 to 5 accountants.
Commercial Small business accounting software providers typically
release a low-end crippleware product for around =A3100 that excludes
such basic features as cashbook and stock control. These products are
usually no more than "brochures" inviting you to spend more on the the
"pro" version. TurboCASH includes most functions a business will ever
need: debtors, creditors, general ledger, full stock control, VAT
accounting, invoicing, bank reconciliation, trial balance, balance
sheet and income statements, full reporting and analysis, as well as
multi-company and multi-user capabilities.
With commercial vendors there is always an excuse for you to spend a
few more hundred dollars for this or that feature or extra addon.
TurboCASH is free to download from http://www.turbocash.net,
or you can purchase the CD which includes the plug-ins by clicking on
