FreshLedger Pro is the desktop accounting tool for people who do real bookkeeping — S-corp owners, bookkeepers, CPAs, landlords, contractors, nonprofits — and who do not want to pay $30 to $200 a month forever to do it.
Most accounting tools are subscriptions. Most one-time tools have no payroll. FreshLedger Pro is the one that gives you both, plus full depreciation, in a single $799 purchase.
QuickBooks Online costs $360 to $2,400 a year. QuickBooks Desktop ended perpetual licenses for new customers. Xero is $180 to $960 a year. Wave's payroll is paywalled. The "free" tools either don't do payroll or don't do real double-entry.
FreshLedger Pro is a real Windows desktop double-entry accounting system with built-in payroll, full MACRS depreciation, QuickBooks IIF/CSV import, bank reconciliation, and a free Accountant Edition you give to your CPA. You pay once. Your data lives on your computer. Backing up means copying a file.
The optional $99/year keeps payroll tax tables current for the next year. That is the only recurring spend, and only if you run payroll. Everything else — bookkeeping, depreciation, reports, IIF import, Accountant Edition — is yours forever.
