Accounting software? For sole proprietor LLC

Hey all,

I have been using Quickbooks Self Employed for many years, and while it's ok, the UI kinda sucks, and I f**king hate Intuit. I have a powerful NAS with 3-2-1 status, and I want to stop paying $15/mo forever for QBSE. What is out there that is as close as possible to a direct replacement? I can accept that automatic bank transaction imports is likely a dream in self hosting, but I'll get over it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

ETA:
I am the only owner/employee, I don't do payroll, and I don't even use it for invoices. Literally just for tracking expenses vs income.

FridayMcNight I have Firefly-iii. I have a different use case, and I'm a know nothing hack when it comes to accounting, but I like it. Can't hurt to look. It was easy to set up and configure, and the account access through SimpleFin bridge was easy.

RentalGore As a single member LLC myself, I recently switched from Harvest/Quickbooks to Actual Budget and Invoice Ninja. with n8n workflows it’s automated my categorization, invoicing and tax prep tasks for the most part.

I’m not the hugest fan with invoice ninja, but it works pretty well. I wish it was simpler to invoice for services on a task basis as that’s what my contracts usually are.0

Actual has been great. I use the simplefin bridge to bring in my business accounts.

The only thing I miss now is vendor payments and 1099 issuance. But my accountant does that for me anyway. Apr 9 2 likes
