I have been looking for an open source accounting software alternative to Quickbooks for ChopperStickers.com and I think I may have found one - TurboCASH.

The shopping cart I am using, x-cart, will export order data to Quickbooks and it looks like it can be imported into TurboCASH.

If anyone out there has any other suggestions on an open source accounting application please leave a comment. I am going to download and install TurboCASH tonight and mess around with it. From the features page it looks like it will do what I need as far as tracking income, expenses, and inventory.

I am not against paying for commercial software and if I cannot find anything else then Quickbooks will probably be what I use, but I try to use as much open source software as possible (It’s a geek thing).

I did run across several solutions that are SQL and web-based. This is not really what I am looking for. I am looking for a stand-a-lone application that runs on Windows XP.

By the way, ChopperStickers.com launched last week and things have really taken off. I am extremely happy with the results so far. Stop by and have a look.
