I’d add DualEntry to the list. Since it’s AI-native, it takes care of a lot of the everyday accounting and reconciliation automatically. For small businesses, that usually means spending less time on bookkeeping and more time running the business. It’s also easier to get started with than some of the bigger systems, while still giving you a clear view of cash flow and profitability.
