TurboCash

TurboCASH is an accounting software package, developed by a project team headed by Philip Copeman, a South African. It has been continuously developed since April 1985.

It has been translated or partially translated into 23 languages including Afrikaans, Croatian, Dutch, Greek, Indonesian and Spanish. According to the company, TurboCASH has over 80,000 users.

It is aimed at the small to medium-sized business market, this places it between being a home finances package and being an ERP package. Its core function is a General ledger, posting transactions into accounts and producing financial reports. Plugin technology enables developers to extend the system.

It integrates directly with osCommerce, CRE Loaded and Zen Cart. Being originally developed in Delphi, it only runs natively on Windows, although the developers have released a version for Linux that runs under Wine. A version that runs under CrossOver, and will therefore run on Apple MacOS, is also under development.

It was initially aimed at developing capabilities similar to Intuit, Inc.'s Quicken application, but also has features for small business accounting. Recent development has been focused on adapting to modern desktop support-library requirements.

GnuCash is part of the GNU Project,and runs on Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and other Unix-like platforms. A Microsoft Windows (2000 or newer) port was made available starting with the 2.2.0 series.

LedgerSMB

LedgerSMB is a double entry accounting and Enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Accounting data is stored in a SQL database server and a standard web browser can be used as its user interface. The system uses the Perl language and a Perl database interface module for processing, and PostgreSQL for data storage. LedgerSMB has Multitenancy support.

Capabilities

LedgerSMB features a full GL, along with inventory management and invoicing capabilities. It also features project accounting and reporting, light manufacturing, and basic MRP. The underlying structures for supporting basic CRM capabilities are in place, but these are not yet exposed to the front-end.

As of version 1.3, separation of duties is now a part of LedgerSMB except for inventory-affecting invoices. However, version 1.3 can use orders and invoices as separate documents in a manner similar to vouchers and transactions in a paper accounting world. Full separation of duties for these documents is currently planned for 1.4.

LedgerSMB supports multiple currencies and per-user language settings. It also supports per-customer language settings and invoices can be translated into various languages when printed, and per-language invoice templates are also an option.

Peachtree Accounting is business management software published by Sage Software and sold primarily in the United States. There have been several generations of software sold under the Peachtree Accounting name.

Peachtree Accounting originally sold by a software publisher founded in 1978 by Ben Dyer, Ron Roberts, Steve Mann, and John Hayes. The company was carved out of The Computer SystemCenter, an early Altair dealer founded by Roberts, Mann, Jim Dunion, and Rich Stafford, which Dyer had joined as the manager and where the first software was published in 1977. The company expanded its offerings with its acquisition of Layered, an accounting program designed for use on the Macintosh. The company's products were included in the initial launch of the IBM Personal Computer, and it was acquired by Management Science America (MSA) in June 1981. After several subsequent changes of ownership ending with ADP, Peachtree was eventually acquired by the Sage Group in 1998 for US$145 million. Peachtree was the first business software introduced for microcomputers and the oldest microcomputer software program for business in current use, with the possible exception of the original Microsoft Basic interpreters, also introduced in 1975.

For the 2013 release of their Accounting product Peachtree was renamed "Sage 50 Accounting" US.

Then the Windows version was developed in the early 1990s and released in 1994. The Windows version was developed with all new code based on Computer Associates development tools.

Until recently, the only browser supported by QuickBooks Online was Internet Explorer. However, Mozilla Firefox is now supported, and Safari, Firefox and Google Chrome is now supported on the Mac platform. One may also access QuickBooks Online via an iPhone, a BlackBerry web app, and an Android.

QuickBooks Online does not offer all of the features of the desktop versions of QuickBooks, and has many features that work differently than they do in desktop versions.[10]

In 2011, Intuit introduced a UK-specific version of QBOE to addresses the specific VAT and European tax system.
