That's kind of cool. I was looking for something for small business but I don't really like Quickbooks or Xero. Was debating writing my own. Does this support double entry accounting with debits and credits?
- narendraj9 10y agoYes, `hledger' is based on double entry bookkeeping. But we do not use the Credit and Debit conventions. Instead we use negative numbers to imply deduction in the balance of an account. Each journal entry must be balanced.

- bcheung 10y agoSo you make sure everything sums to 0 instead of sum(credits) == sum(debits)?
