Ask HN: Accounting Software for startups that isn't quickbooks?

2 points by robwormald ↗ HN
Having written Intuit API integrations for a couple of years now, I have no desire to run my own business with them.

Not looking for anything super complicated, just invoicing and accounting, preferably with an API we can plug into.

Thoughts? Freshbooks seems pretty good.

The devil you know vs. the devil you don't... You really think these accounting products are that different?

(Disclosure: I am the Product Manager of Zoho Books) I invite you to try Zoho Books. It that handles invoicing, online payments via Paypal, Stripe and others, Expenses , Automatic bank feeds etc more. It is a double entry system but, that is under the hood. It has mobile apps for Android, iPhone and Windows as well. On APIs : Zoho Books has comprehensive APIs. The web client is built using the same set of APIs that we expose to developers and partners.

Please give it a try and let me know your feedback. You can reach me at prashant at zohocorp dot com
