This article is a mess

I'm new to Wikipedia, so I apologize if this is not the place for my comment.

I find this article completely confusing, it's supposed to be comparing accounting software with personal finance software, but the tables are not relevant. One is and open source and free software list. This is not what the page title indicates the article is about.

I was going to "help", when I noticed the software's are not consistent to accounting/personal finance. For example "Freshbooks" is an invoicing software, it does not meet the definition of accounting software found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accounting_software

After looking more closely, it seems to me like a list of non-like software's in a big list for marketing purposes only, not definition.

Lastly I recognize some of these software's no longer exist, such as JFire, development and product officially ended in 2015.

With all of these issues degrading the page quality it seems like a candidate for deletion. John Redfield (talk) 21:25, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, the article is not comparing accounting software with personal finance software (what would be the point of comparing software for one job with software for a different job?). This article is nothing to do with personal finance software. FreeFlow99 (talk) 14:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Making Tax Digital

In the UK, Making Tax Digital legislation requires businesses to use accounting software that complies with Making Taxation Digital ie files monthly VAT returns. It would make sense if there is a column in the tables to indicate whether the software is compliant. Presumably some other countries will have similar requirements (might need additional tables dedicated to comparing each product with compliance in different jurisdictions).

@FreeFlow99: The table might be too big to take into account all jurisdictions, so that is likely outside our scope. —C.Fred (talk) 20:24, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hledger

i just wanted to mention i find it sad the article doesn't mention hledger. i wanted to remember it from "ledger" and finding references just by searching turned out as very hard! usually wikipedia would come to the rescue, but this time it wasn't there!

cheers. cregox (talk) 10:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
