What is GnuCash?


  • GnuCash is free, open-source accounting software that offers features similar to the commercial accounting software Quicken. GnuCash uses a double-entry bookkeeping model, meaning that every credit to one account requires an equal debit from another account. Although designed primarily for managing personal finances, its features are also suitable for small-to-medium business accounting.

  • GnuCash was originally developed by Robin Clark, and first released in 1998. Today it is actively developed by the GNU Free Software Project. It is available for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.
