GnuCash is accounting software aimed at individuals and small businesses. It uses double-entry bookkeeping and provides a familiar register-based interface for recording income, expenses, transfers and other financial transactions.
The software can manage bank and credit-card accounts, investments, loans, multiple currencies and scheduled transactions. Reconciliation tools help match records against bank statements, while customizable reports and graphs provide views of income, expenditure, assets, liabilities and investment performance.
GnuCash also offers substantial small-business functionality. Customers, vendors and jobs can be tracked alongside invoices, bills, accounts receivable and accounts payable, making it considerably more capable than a simple personal budgeting application.
This is free and open source software.
