Wave Accounting is coming to the end in Australia. Need a an alternative accounting system?

I was so devastated when Wave Accounting started to pull out of the Australian market. It was such a handy tool for freelances and sole traders as it provided simple accounting solutions for FREE!!!

You heard right! Wave Accounting was a FREE accounting software that could rival Xero and Myob for small business. It didn't have payroll but you could send invoices, link a bank feed and balance your books for FREE.

I was almost going to give in and head over to good old MYOB as I have used it many times before in business, but it just has too many things that I do not really need at my stage and level of business. Also, I use Citibank for my business account and MYOB does not have Citibank as part of their bank feed, so it was a big NO for MYOB.

So what is the next best thing? Rounded or www.rounded.com.au

Rounded provides simple accounting solutions for freelancers and the self-employed.
