This book is a great resource for small business owners, self-employed, startups, investors and landlords. It reviews the available accounting software that can be used or accessed for free and contrasts them against various paid or subscription based software models. It also seeks to make small business owners aware of the advantages of using open source software versus proprietary models that seem to endlessly find new ways to over charge their users. If you are sick of being prey to the large corporate accounting and software publishers and want a clear unbiased review to get your business up and running with lower overhead costs, this book is for you.
