We have compiled a list of free small business accounting software, but...
Q: Why pay when you can get your accounting software free?
A: Consider your overall cost of operating the software. Take a look at the free accounting software which is available and compare it to the annual cost of operating software which is not free.
Just because the accounting software is free initially, does not necessarily be free over the long run. The free software may need to be modified to suit your needs. These modifications will not be free. If you staff is already well versed in a particular accounting system extensive retraining will be needed to get started with your new free accounting.
Be sure to check reviews and then thoroughly test any free accounting software before you roll it out. If it is not reliable or doesn't include features and reports you require, your costs will quickly mount.
