Moneydance : Accounting for Win, Mac, and … gasp! … Linux!!!
http://Moneydance.com I haven’t even given it a try … yet. But I’ve been looking for something like this. I have been using the very aged “Checkbook Tracker” to track my business checkbook. It does my math for me, and that’s about it. I run most of my business on Linux machines, and I’ve been looking [...]
