Manager.io

Full double-entry accounting on your own server: Manager.io Server Edition runs the same engine as the free desktop edition as a web server, so unlimited users work in unlimited businesses concurrently, with all books on infrastructure you control. The module coverage is genuinely comprehensive - general ledger with a customizable chart of accounts, sales and purchase invoices, quotes and orders, bank and cash account reconciliation, inventory with stock tracking, fixed assets with depreciation, payroll, multi-currency with exchange gains and losses, tax codes for VAT and GST regimes, and the complete reporting stack: balance sheet, profit and loss, trial balance, aged receivables and payables, and cash flow statements. The interface is translated into more than seventy languages, reflecting a genuinely global user base. The licensing model is the refreshing part: a server license is a one-time perpetual purchase, not a subscription - twelve months of updates included, optional renewals after, no per-user tiers, no data limits, and you can downgrade to the free desktop edition anytime, so your books are never hostage. Businesses wanting collaborative accounting behind their own firewall, with data sovereignty and no monthly fees, get exactly that.
