Origin Story

By Denis Duliçi

The Problem

Small businesses in many countries couldn't afford QuickBooks or Xero. An open-source accounting tool could serve businesses worldwide for free.

Building It

Launched as an open-source project. Built an app store ecosystem for paid extensions. Growing community of users and contributors.

What It Means

Accounting software should be free and open source for small businesses everywhere, especially in developing economies.

The Dream

To be the WordPress of accounting — free, self-hostable, and extensible through an app store.
