I’m the owner of a small company and I use BeanCounter to keep track of all financial activities. I wanted a software with double-entry bookkeeping and no monthly fee, and this discarded a lot of saas alternatives. It is simple to use yet very powerful. I especially enjoy the muliptle currencies support since I deal with 3 different ones.

Perfect for my small company
Versao gratis expira ate inserir 25 transacoes
Este App muito bom e sua simplicidade em entender e inserir registros, porem somente serve para utilizar na versão paga, uma opção melhor para que deseja manter sempre seus arquivos atualizados em seus dispositivos seria o App Moneywis…boa sorte
Tedious
If you need an accounting system that allows you to set up a file for each customer or account, this is a useful program. However the efficiency is laughable. There is no ability to sort the list of clients alphabetically with a simple click of the button. So you have to drag each client into alphabetical position. If you are adding new clients frequently it is a nightmare of wasted time. Custom reporting is extremely limited and does not let you choose items to display. The support system is also pretty weak. This is a great program if you need something on a zero budget, but for any heavy work, invest in something with the capabilities to do your work. Have not been inspired to buy the $70 app, so would hope they have improved the functions on that.
Simple - but complicated...
Some more in depth instructions/tutorials would be helpful. It seems to be capable, but Im not a "bean counter". It would be nice to be able to create simple invoices for sales with tax calculations without linking everything to projects, then creating expenses, then creating invoices. Perhaps if I had a different business it would be more useful - or perhaps there is a way to easily do it, and I havent figured it out yet. In addition, Ive yet to figure out how to add mileage as an expense for a project so that it transfers over to the "travel" section of my expenses. The product description summary says it supports starting and ending mileages etc. No idea where to find it, how to input them, or how to link them to a project. I have an E-Mail in to the company for better instructions on how to do that. Im currently using the FREE version, so maybe capabilities are limited.
Awful!
This is the most confusing accounting/invoicing app! I wasted an hour trying to figure out how to send an invoice and still didnt get it. To make it worse, I understood that the basic version was free. I was charged $2.79.
Needs simplified...
Got this to help me with some accounting activities, but I couldnt even figure out how to input any numbers. I went to the developers website for tutorials, instructions, anything; not much help there either. In short, if you are looking for software for bookkeeping and you dont want to spend hours trying to figure out how to do the simplest things,this is probably not what you want…move on.
great support when I ran into a problem
Ive been using BeanCounter for my business and its worked well for me, covering my work for about a half dozen clients. I recently ran into a little bug and contacted the developers support team by email. They got right back to me and were able to look at my control panel and see what was going on. They gave me a simple fix and promised to get rid of the bug in the future. I was pleasantly surprised by how resposnive they were and happy to have everything working properly. I dont mind running into a small bug when you get service like that.
