Double entry accounting makes budgeting easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about gnucash?

GNU Cash is updated often enough to keep it up to date and fresh. GNU Cash works well and is no nonsense, simply being an accounting system, without any fluff or offers or ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about gnucash?

The user interface could be easier and more intuitive. It's not as user friendly as more polished professional software in this regard. It definitely helps to understand double-entry accounting before using GNU Cash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering gnucash:

If you understand basic double-entry accounting, GNU Cash could be a good option for your small business. If you do not, it may be a difficult learning curve. It also doesn't handle things like builds or payroll. For most businesses, especially small service businesses, GNU Cash has everything you could possibly need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is gnucash solving and how is that benefiting you?

I keep track all of my business income and expenses, accounts and balances, with GNU Cash. GNU Cash makes it easy to run reports for any period, including quarterly and annual P&L reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
