Hi all :)

I'm setting up a small business in the UK, and need some accounting software to keep track of everything, and generate invoices, that sort of thing. I tried Wave a few years ago, and it looks like it does what I need, but is US based and proprietary.

It has the option of linking to your bank account too, and automatically pulling your transactions etc. This is quite important, as I'm trying to get diagnosed with ADHD, and have a terrible memory. I won't remember to manually enter transactions regularly.

Being able to use it on Android and Windows / Linux would be ideal. I can self host it if there are any options that work.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

I’ve heard of GnuCash but I have no experience or knowledge of it

open source, multi-platform
aimed at individuals and small business
Features
looks like it can direct connect to your bank (but a Reddit post indicates might not be the most intuitive)

EDIT: only came across it because I was looking at the Guile language and GnuCash is listed as using Guile

EDIT 2: unwarranted advice – for memory and ADHD, take a look at the original bullet journaling (not the Instagram/TikTok fad it’s turned into)

It looks great, thanks :)

It looks like it covers everything I should need and more. I'll have to see if it will connect to my bank, or if only some banks use the protocol, but it looks promising.

Unwarranted advice is welcome too :)

I haven't had much luck with journaling, as I usually don't like the act of writing things down. If it can be done digitally though, it's worth another look, thanks
