Manager.io

Manager.io is double-entry accounting software from Sydney-based NGSoftware. It comes in three editions. The free Desktop Edition runs offline on Windows, macOS and Linux. The Cloud Edition runs in the browser. The Server Edition is self-hosted. Core modules include a customisable chart of accounts and general ledger, sales and recurring invoices, quotes, accounts receivable and payable, bank reconciliation, expense claims, payroll recording, inventory, fixed asset depreciation, multi-currency, and financial reports. Country localisations adapt tax codes and reports. It suits sole traders, small businesses and bookkeepers who want full bookkeeping without per-user fees. Pricing is unusually simple. The desktop app has no feature, time or usage caps, but it is single-user and has no remote access or automatic backups. The Cloud Edition costs 59 USD per month as one flat plan with unlimited users and unlimited businesses. It includes user permissions, automatic updates and backups, and a 14-day trial with no card required. That model works well for accountants who serve many clients from one subscription. The Server Edition is a self-hosted licence, and its public price could not be confirmed. Integrations are thin. There is no app marketplace for CRM or payment tools. Bank feeds have moved to extensions built on an API, and forum users describe the setup as technical and poorly documented. The main limitation is that it suits do-it-yourself users rather than teams who want native bank connections, mobile apps and a broad integration ecosystem.
