Free Accounting Software

by Russell Montgomery
(Corpus Christi, Texas, USA)

A free alternative to QuickBooks is GNUCash and is downloadable from http://www.gnucash.org/ The product can operate on different platforms e.g. Windows, Linux and Mac OS 10. It is not just a checkbook program like Quicken and Microsoft Money but it an actual accounting package.

A free alternative to using Microsoft Office is OpenOffice which can be downloaded from http://www.openoffice.org/. OpenOffice was written as a free alternative to Microsoft Office. You can work with Microsoft documents and spreadsheets with OpenOffice. OpenOffice replaces Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access

Previously our bookkeeping was done with Quicken and we couldn't get real reports but since Quicken and Money are going away we went looking for an alternative. We had very limited funds so this met our needs.

There is a large user community to help with support for both GNUCash and OpenOffice. I have been using OpenOffice for several years and GNUCash for one.

All of Vickie's spreadsheets work with OpenOffice.

Thank you Russell! I will look into GNUCash and I am thrilled to hear my spreadsheets work with OpenOffice. I am all for saving our churches money with anything FREE :-)

Some more free business software. :)
by: Anonymous

You should also have a look at SSuite Office for a free office suite. They have a whole range of office suites that are free for download. :)

Their software also doesn't need to run on Java or .NET, like MS Office and so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small, efficient, and easy to use. :D
