Editor’s note: This article was first published in March 2011. Its software recommendations are from 2011, and Contabilidad GL and Contabilidad Doméstica may no longer be available, free or maintained.
Whether you need a program for a small business or for a medium-sized or large company, one of the most complete we’ve seen, both for the range of business types it covers and for how useful it is overall, is Contabilidad GL, which comes with a free license.
To use this program you’ll need a key, which you can get by registering, completely free of charge, on the author’s own website.
If, on the other hand, you want to start keeping accounts for your own household finances, and become more aware along the way of the importance of personal finance and of keeping your books in good order, there’s also a completely free program for that. In it you’ll find features such as an expense log, income categories, taxes, bill payments and so on.
Download Contabilidad GL (business) for free.
Download Contabilidad Doméstica (household) for free.
That said, depending on the size of your business, the household accounting program could even be useful for keeping the books of a small business.
It goes without saying that once your business grows, the sensible thing is to leave the accounting in the hands of professional accountants, so you don’t make one of the common mistakes of Hispanic business owners.
