Depending upon the definition that is used, there are FLOSS replacements
for
QuickBooks.
Issue #1: Your SOHO/SMB accountant probably has not
heard of it, and will
charge more to look at data from your
software;
Issue #2: FLOSS software typically has not been certified by
government
agencies or national bodies. Individual organizations can, and do
get their
specific fork/varient certified, but that certification does not
carry any further
than
paying clients;
Issue #3: The FLOSS
alternatives to QuickBooks are either limited by industry
or geography. They
are forks of the "mainstream" FLOSS accounting
packages.
#Issue #4:
Payroll functionality will probably never get beyond the data
required by ADP.
(If you have more than four employees, and don't use ADP, or
a similair vendor,
the gaurantee is that one will fall afoul of the rules. If ADP is
used, they
cover the fines, etc, provided they were given accurate data.) [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
