Accounting Software reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Speedy059 · 2023-11-30 20:27 Just found out that Quickbooks Desktop will be going away (if you aren't Enterprise) and the online version is very expensive since I have some LLC's that don't make money and it was nice to use Quickbooks just to keep the books clean for each business. What i'm looking for: * Ability to have client pay their invoices online via a link. * Ability to create a shipping label for an invoice, preferably with FedEX. * Banking importing * Expense tracking * Ability to create products that are commonly sold I've looked at InvoiceNinja, but it appears all the integrations are third party (Zapier) and costs a fortune when zapier charges per task. It would be far cheaper to use the Quickbooks Online version than pay for all the integration tasks (thousands a year) with Zapier/Ninja. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MaliciousMango1 · 2023-11-30 21:01 I haven't tried it, but I've heard of crater ---------------------------------------------------------------------- syswww · 2023-11-30 21:34 I don't know if it does all of that but [Akaunting](https://akaunting.com/features) is a self hosted solution I remember looking at a while ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tvlkidd · 2023-11-30 21:50 Akaunting is free but doesn’t include any double entry accounting AP AR etc This are all add ons ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cefaleia · 2023-11-30 21:54 Have you looked erp next or odoo? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tvlkidd · 2023-11-30 22:01 My business is mostly a hobby so doesn’t really make that much or have a lot of monthly transactions… but I still have enough to make the LLC worth it. What I’m doing is using quicken (home and business) this allows for the accounting of things … bank downloads, bank recs, etc Invoice Ninja w/ Stripe for invoices, payment portal, payment processing Twice a month a enter my invoice/income infos into quicken (more specific I reconcile it to the downloads) I have an offline account for stripe that captures payments and stripe fees and transfers That covers all of these requirements: * Ability to have client pay their invoices online via a link. * Banking importing * Expense tracking * Ability to create products that are commonly sold For this requirement: * Ability to create a shipping label for an invoice, preferably with FedEX. I’m not sure because I email my invoices to my customers If It needs to be mailed I have window envelopes that I fold the invoice into so the delivery address shows… I also don’t use FedEx … I only use USPS and UPS If I do need to send something via UPS I can import the customer info into their address book then create my shipping label ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tvlkidd · 2023-11-30 22:02 You could also checkout front accounting but I don’t think it’s going to work the way you need/want ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UnCavayo · 2023-11-30 22:45 You can use n8n instead of happier, I don't know how good it's the integration with invoice ninja but probably it's good enough ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stonewareSlayer · 2023-11-30 22:58 [BigCapital](https://bigcapital.ly/) Haven’t really looked deep into to it. Just know it exists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EnochWright · 2023-12-01 02:17 Wave is what you are looking for. You can have client accounts as well and the best part is it's free. Seriously. If you add payroll there is a cost for it and there is a small fee to accept online payments. I use it for my accounting/tax firm and I have a client who makes and sells hot sauce, a landscaper, and a pretzel company that uses it. It's not open source, but web based. Good luck! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hillel369 · 2023-12-01 07:33 Here's another option: https://www.make.com/en/integrations/invoiceninja ---------------------------------------------------------------------- carocaracalla · 2023-12-01 12:55 Not sure you’re aware but you can still use the software, it becomes unsupported, if you aren’t calling for assisted services or technical support why not continue and create routines to export data to csv incase you need to import it into another platform? If you don’t upgrade “QuickBooks Desktop 2021 by May 31, 2024, you won't have access to live technical support if you run into problems or any of the other Intuit services that can be integrated with QuickBooks Desktop. This includes QuickBooks Desktop Payroll, QuickBooks Desktop Payments, and online bank feeds. Discontinued versions won't receive the latest critical security patches and updates.” Per QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- subven1 · 2023-12-01 13:10 [InvoiceNinja](https://invoiceninja.com/) is maybe what you're looking for. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- puredecaf · 2023-12-01 14:06 Finance/accounting module for odoo is paid module. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- d662 · 2023-12-01 16:35 I think Crater is just like Invoice Ninja and only satisfies OP's requirements #1 & #5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- d662 · 2023-12-01 16:39 Not self-hosted or open source.
