OK, so QuickBooks (Intuit) now requires a subscription to use their software, even the desktop version. So I need a way to manage the books for 5 different companies that don't have any crazy requirements.

Has anyone out there ever migrated to GNUCash from QB? Any experience with it? How about getting really crazy and using something like ledger or hledger? I'm fine with the CLI but getting my bookkeeper and CPA on board with this will be fun.

@blainsmith it seems like limeleaf is similar business to mine, what do you use to manage your books?

Just looking for general advice on migrating away from QB. Preferably an open source tool but I'm open to anything. My only requirement is that I can run it offline. Bonus points if it runs on Linux but I'm fine with using a VM if need be.

Boosts greatly appreciated!

#GrandGulfNuclearStation, troubled #NuclearPlant, reemerges as hot topic as electric bills soar

Latest outage at #Entergy property comes as regulators press dispute over performance

"For years, regulators in #Louisiana, #Mississippi and #Arkansas have fought to force #EntergyCorp to pay refunds for alleged #mismanagement and problematic #bookkeeping at its massive #GrandGulfNuclearPowerStation, in #PortGibsonMississippi.

"Grand Gulf has now been offline for more than three weeks. It’s the latest in a series of outages at the plant, where unreliability has been a central gripe of regulators. The shutdown is forcing the utility to buy expensive natural gas to make up for the lost power generation, squeezing customers who are already facing skyrocketing bills - and adding another layer to the long-running dispute over Entergy’s alleged mismanagement of the power plant.

[...]

"The latest litigation, which began last year, centers around outages at the plant; the Grand Gulf was the least reliable nuclear plant in the U.S. from 2018 to 2020, according to figures compiled by the Nuclear Energy Institute [#NEI]."

Ursula M. Franklin on @economics, #accountancy and #bookkeeping:

"In order to make socially responsible decisions, a community requires three sets of books. One is the customary dollars-and-cents book […]. The second book relates to people and social impacts. It catalogues the human and community gains and losses as faithfully as the ongoing financial gains and losses documented in the first book. In the third book, environmental accounting is recorded."

@rayglittersoft I mean, don't take every word of him at face value - he has some nuts loose...

Personally, I don't think #Bitcoin or #Ethereum have a longterm future cuz they've got a very finite amount of coins and that makes them fall on their faces once the last has been mined.

Needless to say that every big purchase may fall under KYC & AML and thus face the same scrutiny.

Fortunately, #Monero does allow such #transparency and #auditability whereever needed or desired (aka. #ViewKey) and the rest is just complying with #accounting and #bookkeeping standards as relevant...
