Quotes
Having hledger have all my accounts, personal and business and being able to filter out appropriate reports has been great for seeing things like is the business a money pit or am I actually growing wealth over time. --abhiyerra
I use hledger and I love it. It has a learning curve (especially if you're new to double entry accounting) but it's rewarding.
