Hello everyone,

I've started my search for some free online accounting/financial service. Indeed, i could write my own, but it is so much easier to use something tested & working. I've tried using Mint, but it's not available in my country.
What the software should do? Keep track of income/expenses by category, draw graphs, issue statistics.

Does anyone know some good, tested, trusted online service in this regard? Thanks.

There are several available. Two I've run into are GnuCash and OpenERP. You'll have to play around to decide which might meet your needs, though.

There's a bit of fault in my thread title - by 'accounting' i actually meant something which just keeps track of money in/out.
Oh well, i've ran into gnuCash myself, and i had to study openErp at work (well...i had to, at least). openErp is...well, an ERP, too bulky for 1 man, and gnuCash offers 2-sided accounting, or how do you call it, with Income/Expense/Asset/Liability.

Thing is, as firsthandedly stated, i just need basic money input/output + graphs/charts software. If there is none i'll just go openOffice Calc or Google Spreadsheets.

What types of graphs/charts are you looking for? I know there are several programs on Linux for tracking money flow, it just really comes down to what you're looking for in those charts.

Just the usual - bars, pies, XoY graphs. Something extra wouldn't hurt, but those are what i actually need.

Edit: In accounting terms, i am looking for cash-basis acc. software.

Eqonomize!, Grisbi, and HomeBank are also free. I haven't messed with them, though.

There are several that you can choose but i recommend that you use Eqonomize!, Grisbi, and HomeBank. You'll have to test some softwares to decide which might meet your needs.
