Title: gnucash -- simple single-user accounting program
Version: 1.1.22
Entered-date: 3NOV98
Description: GnuCash is a personal finance manager. A check-book like
register GUI allows you to enter and track bank accounts,
stocks, income and even currency trades. The interface is
designed to be simple and easy to use, but is backed with
double-entry accounting principles to ensure balanced books.
Features include:
- An easy-to-use interface. If you can use the
register in the back of your checkbook, you
can use GnuCash. Type directly into the register,
tab between fields, and use quickfill to
automatically complete the transaction.
- Reconcile window with running reconciled
and cleared balances makes reconciliation easy.
- Stock/Mutual Fund Portfolios: Track stocks
individually (one per account) or in portfolio
of accounts (a group of accounts that can be
displayed together).
- Multiple Currencies & Currency Trading: Multiple
currencies are supported and can be bought and
sold (traded). Currency movements between accounts
are fully balanced when double-entry is enabled.
(Some aspects of mutiple currency support are not
fully implemented.)
- Quicken File Import: Import Quicken QIF style files.
QIF files are automtically merged to eliminate
duplicate transactions.
- Reports: Display Balance Sheet, Profit&Loss reports,
or print them as HTML.
- Chart of Accounts: A master account can have a hierarchy
of detail accounts underneath it. This allows similar
account types (e.g. Cash, Bank, Stock) to be grouped
into one master account (e.g. Assets).
- Split Transactions: A single transaction can be split
into several pieces to record taxes, fees, and
other compund entries.
- Double Entry: When enabled, every transaction must
debit one account and credit another by an equal amount.
This ensures that the "books balance": that the
difference between income and outflow exactly equals
the sum of all assets, be they bank, cash, stock or other.
- Income/Expense Account Types (Categories):
These serve not only to categorize your cash flow,
but when used properly with the double-entry feature,
these can provide an accurate Profit&Loss statement.
- General Ledger: Multiple accounts can be displayed
in one register window at the same time. This can
ease the trouble of tracking down typing/entry errors.
It also provides a convenient way of viewing a
portfolio of many stocks, by showing all transactions
in that portfolio.
- Written in C, with perl, scheme and tcl support for easy
configuration and extensibility.
- Multiple Accounts
- Each account keeps a running balance and
a reconciled balance, so you can keep track
of the checks that have cleared your account.
- A simple interface. If you can use the
register in the back of your checkbook,
you can use xacc.
- QuickFill... if you begin typing a description
in the description fields, and it matches an
previous transaction, hitting <TAB> will copy
the previous transaction. Handy if you have
similar transactions on a regular basis.
(such as depositing your paycheck every week :)
- Stock/Mutual Fund Portfolios. Tracks stock
investments.
- General Ledger. This is an advanced feature
for more serious work. Supported are:
o Double Entry: Transactions can appear in two
accounts, one debited, one credited.
o Sub-accounts: A master account can have
a hierarchy of detail accounts.
o Income/Expense account types.
o General Ledger for displaying multiple
accounts at once.
- Quicken Import. Support for import from
Quicken QIF files.
