[BNM] Accounts / Book-Keeping Software - Free Software?

Tue Jun 3 09:39:48 BST 2008

+1 spreadsheets !!

I know it's boring but it's simple and works. I email the spreadsheet
to my accountant who understands it and can amend the spreadsheet
where necessary, add comments etc. Nice and simple - job done!

I'm sure solutions like FreeAgent, Quickbooks are great but i've
always thought it's overkill for such simple book keeping.
