ACCY - Bookkeeping on Rails

Simple double-entry accounting system built on Ruby on Rails.

This was a weekend prototype project for fun and profit. It goes without saying this is unstable and nowhere near production ready.

I rarely share my incomplete, unpolished projects, so this is the first one!

Features

• Double-entry journal system
• Imports Xero data (accounts and general ledger)
• Chart of accounts (Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenue, Expenses)
• Supports creation of new accounts and simple entries (one debit and one credit transaction)

Replace Plutus with a customised bookkeeping solution with additional features

User Interface, User Experience

Security, common-sense

• Prevent accidental deletion, modification in back-end (accounts with entries currently can be deleted!)

Tests
