Overall, I have greatly enjoyed setting up and using my accounting system in LedgerLite. The developer has provided many useful teaching videos online and is extremely accessible for any additional questions.

Pros

Through learning the program, I greatly appreciate having been able to streamline my accounting system that was seriously messed up from trying to work around the hidden Quickbooks processes. It is also very easy to spot entry errors and to balance the cash accounts because of the simplicity of the system.

Cons

Inability to see individual vendor information.

[QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/)

Quickbooks abandoned its standalone program, having chosen to charge an exorbitant subscription price to keep the program up-to-date and secure. LedgerLite is very affordable and much more secure than Quickbooks ever was.

Reasons for choosing LedgerLite

LedgerLite had all the features I needed, was the most affordable, and included the best customer support I have ever had with any software program.

As a keen learner, the prospect of letting a subscription based app do what should be a relatively straight forward job didn't make sense to me. After the free trial period ended, purchasing LedgerLite was a no-brainer. LedgerLite is flexible enough to handle my small businesses books, its helped me learn the fundamentals of double entry accounting, and has put me in the drivers seat of my businesses finances with easy and customizable reporting.

Pros

Not cloud based, gives your tools needed

Cons

If your new to bookkeeping (like me) there is a bit of a steep learning curve. But don't give up, once you get it you will no longer be a slave to the big corporates that charge you monthly subs to keep you dumb and steal your data.

Reasons for choosing LedgerLite

Ledger ticked all my requirement boxes.

Provides our club with all the financial management and reporting capability that we need. Moved to Ledgerlite from previous manual book-keeping and has made management of our club financials an absolute breeze.

Pros

Quickly & easily does everything we need to manage the finances of our club to a pretty professional standard. When needed, customer support has been quick, knowledgeable and without any problems.

Cons

Nothing at all - if you have some basic double-entry accounting knowledge, you will be able to use Ledgerlite.

Reasons for choosing LedgerLite

Simple, easy to use, and cheap !

After keeping books for our 25 member harmonica club on Excel Spreadsheets for almost two years, it was time to set up a real set of books. I'm a retired certified public accountant and I know the problems with competing software that have "never-ending" but "useless" enhancements and and subscription price increases. LedgerLite was an answer to prayer. It took me only a few days to transfer all of the data from the spreadsheets into LedgerLite and now I keep everything current in less than an hour a week.

Pros

Easy to learn using available YouTube videos.Low cost.Simple and easy to use.Covers all basic accounting needs.

Cons

Limited reports available.Not well-know in the United States.

I am able to cross check my tax returns from the accountant before I file. I can make sure nothing was missed. It's great for trust accounting.

Pros

Very easy to learn and use. I had no prior bookkeeping experience.

Cons

I have an accountant that wants the reports to look exactly like QuickBooks. Information is the same but is arranged a little different.

Simple, fast and highly effective.

Pros

For one time, very affordable payment, we got a highly effective double-entry accounting system with intuitive and simple user interface. I am a CPA with over 30 years of work in public accounting in the U.S. and have used all sorts of accounting software over the years. Recently, I came across LedgerLite and was happily surprised by how I was able to start using the software right away and generate all essential reports. Especially with ability to import and export data in csv format, LedgerLite has the ability to interface with other data processing applications. I initially was somewhat stumped by the entries were ordered in the trial balance report. Initially, TB grouped accounts by expense, income, asset, liability and equity and ordered by account number within the groups. I needed the TB to list entries simply by account numbers. When I submitted support request to Responsive Software, the program was quickly updated within a day. Truly impressed and very thankful that I found this software.

Cons

Not as many feature sets as other accounting software. But actually not a disadvantage since the simplicity of user interface is one of its advantage for me.

Reasons for choosing LedgerLite

One time payment rather than subscription.

I primarily use this software for the preparation of my taxes. I input My bank statements monthly and then can print out reports when necessary to give to my bookkeeper who prepares my taxes. It is all so easy and is now not a frustrating experience for tax time.

Pros

Do not need to be an accountant or have accounting degree. Set up and running in minutes. Develop your own Chart of Accounts to meet your business needs. Reports are easy to create and understand. Double entry ensures accuracy. I especially like the ease of use, not complicated at all!!

Cons

I cannot find fault with this software. It is perfect for my business as I am self-employed.

My overall experience with LedgerLite has been exceptional. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] provides exemplary professional and pleasant service. His responses are always timely and beyond the call of duty. I truly enjoy working with him. As it is, I rarely need to contact him.

Pros

This software is extremely easy to set up and use, clear instructions if you don't even know anything about accounting. The support is excellent.

Cons

Would like to be able to print expenses by the month or the year.

I can only wonder what the sensitive content is that's been hidden but I'm sure it was complimentary! Thank you Kathy for the great review. I'll keep your suggestion in mind about printing monthly or yearly expenses as a possible future enhancement to LedgerLite.
