Hey G2! I want to start a discussion with this community to identify the best accounting software for startups. See my entire list below and let me know your thoughts. I’m especially looking for tools that are cost-effective, easy to use, and flexible enough to grow with an early-stage team.
Here are some of the top-rated options from G2’s Accounting Software category:
-
NetSuite: Full-featured ERP and accounting platform that supports scaling startups with built-in reporting and automation.
-
Sage Intacct: Cloud-based financial software with strong automation, compliance tracking, and support for multi-entity growth.
-
QuickBooks Online: Easy-to-use accounting software with invoicing, expense tracking, and integrations. A go-to choice for many startups getting off the ground.
-
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Business management platform with integrated accounting, CRM, and inventory tools. A good fit for startups using Microsoft products.
-
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise: Desktop option with advanced accounting and inventory features. Better for startups that prefer on-premise control and detailed reporting.
Which of these platforms worked best for your startup? Any tips or pitfalls other founders should know before making a decision?
