Free Accounting Software

I enquired as to what had happened to these invoices, and was informed that they were incorrect and deleted from the system. So I thought this was strange and that my client (IT guru) was just mis-informed, and double checked with the bookkeeper who confirmed the issue. She also informed me that in speaking to a CA friend of hers, that the CA had warned her about this.

SARS obviously has a major issue with this! But any business owner should too, because what is stopping any employee from issuing an invoice, receiving payment and deleting the invoice, after pocketing the cash.

That's why there's an audit trail

Effectively Palladium does the same thing in allowing editable transactions. The difference is the way Palladium does it, it's recorded in the GL with automatic credit note and invoice generation. In Quickbooks you need to use the audit trail functionality to find edited and deleted transactions, which in my view actually makes mischief easier to find.

Thanks, I will ask him to activate this functionality.

Yes, catching the offenders probably is! Preventing it in the first place, because they know it is not hidden, would be my preferred approach

An early impression. Looks like Pastel Accounting should be feeling a little nervous. This looks like a serious competitor.

If Palladium ever works out that hidden account and transaction numbering and indexing is the secret to Quickbooks' usability, they might even give Quickbooks a run for their money one day.

Hi Mike

Haven't downloaded or looked into the software yet - does it have the functionality of invoicing in foreign currencies? and does it have a warehouse module for consignment stock?


just for basic invoicing in foreign currency and they have stock which they sent on consignment to distributors which get invoiced on a monthly basis - but to be quite honest i don't know what the shareholders want - i suggested pastel partner with the add on modules as i have used these before and they work quite well, but they currently have pastel xpress which does not do any justice to it and that is why they want to change

Hi Geraldene

The Enterprise version has full foreign currency functionality in all areas.

The inventory system does allow for the creation of multiple warehouses and by using the "Other Activities" classification, it will typically remove it from your own stock and place it as unavailable until transferred back to an invoicing warehouse.

I hope this touches on some of the areas, but I am more than willing to help you find a solution, irrespective of the chosen product.

I think I'm going to give this application a shot.

Thx again Mike.

Hi mbsmit

I clicked on the link and once again it took me to the download page, not sure exactly where the problem with the slash is?

Hi good day

I have just stated my own company would this free software work for me or not

[Dave A]

I suggest check out the version comparison table to see if the free version does what you need.

Make no mistake though, this is real accounting software - nothing Mickey Mouse about it at all.

If you are want a simple, free solution, I would recommend the SlickPie accounting software. The software works fine and for me the best thing about it that it sends automatic payment reminders to clients that haven’t paid the invoices. I was happy to see how my cash flow got better after I used this resource. IT turns out clients actually pay you faster that way. I'm more than satisfied with it.
