For the past 6 months, I have been using a Linux-based accounting system which just won't do the job for my small business. It is very difficult to use and reports are simply awful.
My needs aren't that great. I need GL, AR, AP, Inventory. I can do payroll by hand. It's a medical practice, so the system has to handle both services and product sales. Insurance billing is handled with separate software, so that's not an issue. I don't have the time or the need or the money to implement an ERP system.
Gnucash can't handle inventory, so I can't use it.
I'm looking seriously at both SQL-Ledger and LedgerSMB, but quite honestly, both seem just a tad dodgy. I can't afford another accounting screw-up.
Has anyone used either of these apps and can give me a straightforward, warts-and-all opinion?
