Free, open source accounting, CRM, and ERP for small business

If your business has reached the limits ofQuickbooks, Peachtree, or MYOB, or if you're looking for a starter solution that you won't have to throw away in a year, xTuple PostBooks can help.

xTuple PostBooks is the ideal business software platform for many small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

PostBooks is much more than great (free) accounting software. In addition to basic accounting features (general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, etc.), PostBooks includes fully-integrated CRM, sales and purchasing, product definition, inventory, light manufacturing and OpenRPT, our open-source report writer software. The full features of the software are discussed in detail in the User Docs section of our community site.

Of course, the heart of any business system is accounting, and PostBooks features a powerful General Ledger accounting system. Financial Reports are completely user-definable, and the system's open architecture facilitates simple interfaces to third party applications such as spreadsheets and outside payroll processors. The accounting module rivals anything available from commercial software vendors.

But with so many features, is a full-blown ERP system like PostBooks too complex for a small company?  Fair question - and with open source software, the answer is easy:  See for yourself!  With our growing international community of open source users, we're constantly working to improve the usability of the software so that novices can get up and running in a relatively short amount of time. We provide classroom trainingdemonstration videos, and extensive online documentation to assist users getting started with the software. 

And of course, xTuple and its partners offer professional implementation assistance and helpdesk support once you're live with the software.
