I like ledger. We use it for the accounting of a small side project (few 1000 a year turnover), to track our VAT and general cash in/out. It gives me a sense of safety that our information is in plain text files (in git, backed up on a remote).

This looks nice, might give it a try later today.

This sounds cool. I have never used this for running a business.It would be great if you share your experience in a blog post or something. :)

I have been using this setup for the past one year. I have added a lot of things that I use almost regularly.

I used ledger to manage finances for a small nonprofit. It worked well, but we eventually moved to Quickbooks because I didn't want to be the only one who could do it. Amusingly, I found Quickbooks to be much more difficult to use.

I think the same thing can be done with hledger. What were the ledger features that you found yourself to be using most frequently?

I have the same problem. My co-founder (a developer nonetheless) has never taken time to familiarise himself with with ledger, making him uncomfortable to run our taxes.

Another benefit is that you can actually write unit tests and use CI with your company finances
