Dear founts of all knowledge, to save me trawling though google - does anyone know of any good FREE basic accounts software that will import data from Quickbooks??

I only need to track sales (of a variety of items) and purchase orders, and print out report summaries of them for accounts once a year.

I thank you xx

Don't know of specific software but you could trawl through the stuff at

www.alternativeto.net

lots of open source and free software on that site. Must be some accounts stuff there.

I'd cheat, and perhaps do a free trial. Xero does a full free trial I think. Note you may only be able to do it once - I suspect it looks at your IP address, so you may want to use a privacy tool as well

Have you tried the online stuff that comes with excel?

Or you could create a custom spreadsheet, it shouldn't be difficult with the right requirements at the outset

I don't know any free accounts software but this could be knocked up very quickly using Access.

There's a forum of Access users that are very helpful and would probably do this in a couple of hours for you for free.

I'd just use excel.... I'd also take ShitBooks and bury it

Seriously get Sage instant accounts for £90, sorted.

That's cheap - but then there's all the updates etc. Would it accept QB info - I want to transfer all my client database and sales info.

I'm on 'Online' now but I hate it, and it's just not worth nigh on £20 a month to me.

Never heard of access.....will google!!

Thanks all

If you can export the QB info into a csv or xls file you should be able to in port it in to sage with some tweaking. I'm a bookkeeper and have used sage for years, so if I can help,let me know.

You will also be able to put it in to Access if you can Dave the info as above. PM me if you want
