For anyone that, like me, prefers desktop based accounting software that is cross platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) and completely free of charge (and free of any online activation scheme as well), then have to say that "Manager.io" has been testing out really nicely for me. It has all the basics any small biz (such as a mastering studio) needs - customer database, sales item list, invoicing to pdf, payment & expense tracking, and reports. Good stuff for the right price, wish I had found this one earlier (doing a migration from my previous Windows only app, Adminsoft, which I had migrated to a few years back when Quickbooks went to cloud & subscriptions). https://manager.io

A lot of early validation is just borrowed enthusiasm. Likes, compliments, and "I'd buy that" can feel promising, but demand usually shows up as behavior: a call booked, a deposit paid, a problem described clearly enough to act on. #Startup #SmallBiz #Entrepreneur
