Sadly, this was a great app that was just abandoned.

As a software company we made several attempts to buy the rights to this product when it was clearly not getting any development so that it could be kept alive. Most of our e-mails went unanswered.

I originally started using Accounts to learn double-entry accounting so I could better understand the instructions my accountant gave me. Once I'd mastered that, I enjoyed its simplicity so much I started using it for my then sole-trader accounts. Unfortunately, despite assurances to the contrary from its developer, it seems to have ground slowly to a halt and is left missing features that make prolonged use difficult (search for example). Forum posts about its status were left unanswered and now the forum has been put on hold. I was really keen for this application to be given some life but in the end gave up and upgraded my dormant copy of Moneyworks (http://www.cognito.co.nz).

It's not possible to import account information, like from a csv file. That's ridiculous. For 35 bucks I expect a little more.

I've been a registered user of Accounts for more than 4 years, and have to say it has saved my butt many times, accounting-wise. The daily bookkeeping is easy, and so is the yearly reports.

Nice done software. Does what it should, does it really well. And nothing else. Just do your work, and use Accounts for the tedious chore that accounting often is;-)

I have used Accounts for some time and really think it is a great "bang for your buck." I like the way it uses true accounting principles. I also like that expenses and income accounts are accounts and not categories. The creators are also very responsive.

My only complaints are the reports are limiting and as the year goes on the program gets slower (as the transactions pile up).
