Free Accounting software
Hi..carpuff wrote:Freshbooks seems to be popular. But is there anything that is free? =)
If someone is looking for a free accounting software, then you can try the following link.
http://www.busy.in/index.php?p=fas
This software is good, free (without any need for registering, supports about 10+ companies, no limit on voucher entry, support financial year as per your needs), but please do run some test reports, to check if it suits your annual reports. It has a option to select the country as SG and it supports the SG$ currency too.
Dear Moderators,
If I am violating any rules, kindly forgive me.
Regards
RG

Re: Free Accounting software
There's a difference? For a non GST trader (under 1 million in turnover), no GST accounting is necessary. If a shop charges a $1.07 with GST, they keep it all. For over 1 million, GST takings must be submitted with an accounting so every tax invoice must have a corresponding GST account.ecureilx wrote:The software shows VAT, and not GST !!!New_Global_Trader wrote: ...

At the same time, GST paid for goods and services bought is deductible from total GST owed... so all purchase transactions must also have a GST GL account. This is why I say, "what's the difference" because in most countries VAT payments are handled the same way.

And, here I was, under the impression that unlike GST, you cannot offset VAT !!

This software supports GST. When you create a new company, you get option to select GST, give your GST no. and give a default tax rate.

Re: Free Accounting software
Hi.
This company is competing with the one of the most popular accounting software in India called "Tally".
Due to this reason they offer a free version of their software, so that in future, companies will buy the multi-user version of this software.
Please create a dummy company, feed some invoices, purchases, receipts, payments and try to pull some reports.
Your feedback for other users will be much appreciated.
Also, if you use this software, please take regular backup (just to be on a safer side).
Regards
RG
P.S. I am not a vendor /related with this software

Re: Accounting software
Not so. The desktop version yes. But the cloud version has only been available for 2 years via StarHub. Cloud computing has not been around that long.ecureilx wrote:errr . how about they been here for atleast 10 years or so ??AnthonyC wrote: Looks like MYOB have made a move into Singapore. ...![]()
Anyhow, as of last week Starhub have discontinued MYOB.
They are now bundling a new product called Netiquette. I have never come across this product before. If you Google the name you will find a local service provider, 30 day free trial.
