| Open Source accounting app shows where the money goes |
May 20, 2005
An article published this week by NewsForge.com explains how you can keep track of the ins and outs of your cash flow on your Linux desktop using Grisbi, an open source personal accounting application.
Grisbi is available in versions for the Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows platforms. It proclaims itself "simple" and "intuitive," yet "powerful," It imports/exports QIF files, generates reports, supports multiple currencies and accounts, and organizes expenditures into separate, cross-referenced categories,among other things. However, unlike GnuCash, it does not employ the double-entry accounting system -- a good thing, for some.
Author Dmitri Popov cautions that Grisbi's learning curve isn't exactly a merry-go-round, but neither is it a rollercoaster. In this article, Popov holds your hand and takes you through Grisbi's basic functions step-by-step: creating accounts, adding one-time and recurring transactions, and reconciling Grisbi with the bank's records.
Read Dmitri Popov's "Managing your money with Grisbi" at NewsForge.com, to learn how to keep track of where your money goes -- using open source software.
