Hi there

I'm not sure if there are any free ones (that I've heard of anyway). But if its just the basic bookkeeping that you are wanting to computerise you could use Excel which can work very well if you know what your doing with it.

There aren't any that I've ever come across that will run on a PC. There is SQL-Ledger, but that needs to run on a *nix server. One of the members here was toying with idea of setting this up for clients, but although Opensource software, that service would not be free.

But why economise on the most important information your business has? I would concentrate on how good the software is.

You could have a look at http://www.turbocashuk.com/index.html
but I agree with Kent Manufacturer, buy some decent software.

Just use excel, that will work just fine.

Turbo cash - though it's not for beginners.

Try Kashflow - free for 3 months and then a tenner a month. Highly recommended by lots on here and easy peasy

I'm going to look into Kashflow too. I've been using other commercial software but I need to upgrade it because I've been using a really old version. Rather than pay for the newest version I think I will check out the free options available. A lot of people seem to like Kashflow so I'll definitely check that one out.

Very few people seem to be recommending a free package.

If you want something genuinely free try VT cashbook (MUCH better than just using Excel)

Any particular reason that you felt the need to dredge up a four year old thread?

Anybody reading it will see prices that are years out of date.

Nice and encouraging for a noob.
How do you intuit that he will be spamming?

This is a free cashbook software.

Very good for small business with simple affairs. We use if for our accounts (we run a small company) and is very happy with it. It is based on Excel but so much easier than using Excel. Very easy to reconcile with bank statements and to correct errors.

More info at: vtsoftware.co.uk

Was recommended it by someone on this forum and have not looked back since!

Good luck!
