There are now 2 versions of Free Accounting Software. A desktop version and a cloud version.

Easy to use accounting software for micro businesses.
  • Simple worksheets for Sales, Purchases, Payroll.
  • Single Touch Payroll compliant.

This is for businesses that need to keep good accounting records for BAS lodgements and payroll with Single Touch Payroll (STP) but just want to do it in the quickest and easiest way possible.
