Amiga Accounting Software
« on: November 05, 2013, 04:01:17 AM »
Curious what accounting software was written for the Amiga?  I have compiled and tested a list and was wondering what was out there...

So far only Easy Ledger (1 + 2) is the only one with subledgers for AP and AR that I have found.  Does agings and billing, etc.  Haven't finished testing it yet.  

All the other ones seem to be for home use...
Phasar is decent for home with budgets use but the reporting is limiting.
CheckItOut is a very nice home checkbook with budgeting and decent reports.  This is my favorite this far for home use.
Pretium - Decent, similar to CIO but not quite as nice (IMHO) for daily use.
Homebank - Decent but not as nice as the other top contenders.
Money Matters - Don't know this one, looks like another home use system.
A few other aminet based accounting systems are home based systems....

Anyone using their Amiga for accounting?

No, but I may have a use for such in the coming months.

Are any of these packages currently maintained and up to date with current legislation? Also, are these packages based on US/UK/EU legislation?

Please do continue this thread.

There are several online solutions now.
But an Accounting program should'nt be to difficult to make.

Exactly. Nothing but a glorified spreadsheet in my opinion. In today's world I would expect any accounting software be able to make transactions online automatically which might be a problem on the Amiga.

Well online transactions would require some form of connection to an online banking account. Personally I would prefer to have those two separated.

I have plenty of experience with various accounting systems, so I more or less know what is required, at least for the danish market, the only problem for me, is that I find it incredibly boring to code.

You make spreadsheets sound easy on Amigas.  You'll be challenged to find any decent spreadsheet software for Amigas, let alone up-to-date accounting software..  AmiCygnix probably has the best spreadsheet support though.

GNumeric is a very nice spreadsheet especially since the revision where you can start it straight from Workbench without loading up AmiCygnix.  I've got some very very large & complicated spreadsheets I use for work and GNumeric runs them great.

Agreed programming wouldn't be a monumental task, but there are lots of potential issues that come into play if you want to build a real GAAP Compliant accounting system with subledgers, control accounts, and transaction controls.

Not one of the accounting systems I have tested is a 'real' accounting system that could be used in an industry.  

From my search only Easy Ledger offers subledgers, and I haven't tested transaction controls of it yet.

Building a good reporting and budgeting system might take same time to get it nice would be a bonus.  Since most of the software I have tested, reporting is the weakest area.

Will keep testing and let you all know.

Any other accounting software out there???

Never used AmiCygnix.  Thanks for the tip...  I use turbocalc 5.  Does the job but, as you mentioned, sorely lacks modern features...

Will check this one out.  Appreciate the tip.

TC5, is decent but hasn't be updated since the late 90's....

That sounds like the software developer's equivalent to this. We all know what happens when he says that. :D

http://www.e-conomic.co.uk/ here in Denmark it's one of the systems that is usually recommended. There is also Microsoft Navision online.
C5 Online, http://www.c5online.nu this page is in danish, but I guess you can get it in other langauges. C5 really have everything that is needed.

There really is no need to reinvent CRM/ERP programs.

Good point, but I would rather run the application natively on my Classic Amiga.  

I will keep up the quest for find the best Amiga Accounting Solution!
