A rare Noisebridge opportunity!
Here's the deal: I, your new treasurer, already hate xero.com (our current bookkeeping system). I'm planning to finish out 2010 using xero, but I'll have a good 9 months of 2011 to look forward to, and they could be accounting bliss. That's the fantasy.
Here are features we need:
- import and reconcile transactions from Wells Fargo, Paypal & Square.
- keep repeating invoices for membership dues and an option to have the member invoiced automatically via email.
- some smart suggestions to reconcile incoming transactions with their matching invoices (xero is betarded at this. It searches only by amount, not by name and amount)
- custom categories for flagging transactions as various types of expenses and income to make taxes easier
- some reasonably convenient way to output data (graphs and reports would be nice, but good clean csv files would do. I can matplotlib that shit.)
- clear tracking of unpaid invoices
- Reasonably forgiving and customizable system (i.e. xero won't let you delete invoices once created, you can only mark them invalid. Not A Feature.)
- generate receipts easily
- web-based or linux-compatible local app. Some sort of remote data
storage and ability to access from multiple machines is required.
Here are features that would make me especially super happy:
- direct access to the full details of paypal or square transactions
(i.e. notes to the payee, etc)
- really smart algorithms for invoice reconciliation, alteration and
deletion (i.e. delete invoices for this member during these dates or change the invoice amount on individual invoices without affecting repeating invoices)
- an interface which isn't bleeding edge flash that trips up in Linux.
Ideas?
