About Akaunting
Akaunting is accounting software for small businesses and freelancers. It is open source, and it can be used online or installed on your own server.
What it does
Akaunting handles bookkeeping tasks such as invoicing, expense tracking and cash flow reporting. Transactions can be grouped into categories for income, expenses and items. A client portal lets customers see invoices and transactions and make bulk payments.

Who it's for
Akaunting suits freelancers, sole traders and small companies that want simple tools rather than a full ERP system. Accountants who look after several small clients can use the partner program the site advertises.
Pricing and good to know
The self-hosted Standard plan is free, and the site describes the software as free and open source. The hosted online version has its own plans, so check the Plans page for the details. Self-hosting means you manage the server and updates yourself, and the source code is available for review.
