Free Mac Accounting Software

A range of free Mac accounting software packages are available. Free accounting software is a popular choice for small businesses who want to save money. Although free software is often of very high quality, there are often limited support options. Another problem for a growing business is that very few bookkeepers or accountants will be familiar with the free software packages, so it can be a struggle to find high quality finance staff who will not use one of major packages such as QuickBooks.

The range of free accounting packages available for the Apple Mac include GnuCash and Express Accounts.

GnuCash is an accounting software package available for a wide range of operating systems, including the Apple Macintosh. GnuCash is free of charge.

GnuCash is designed for personal accounts as well as maintaining the accounts of a small business. The software is designed to be easy to use, yet still offer the capabilities of commercial software such as QuickBooks and Sage Accounts.

Features of GnuCash include double entry accounting, ability to raise invoices and track customers and jobs. GnuCash has built in reporting, such as the ability to show a profit and loss report and balance sheet. GnuCash also supports multiple currencies, which is an increasingly important feature for businesses that have an Internet presence.

Express Accounts

Express Accounts is available for both the Mac and PC. Express Accounts is free for home and personal use. The commercial version also offers the chance of gaining technical support. Express Accounts has a wide range of features such as the ability to track income and expenditure and to raise invoices.
