FA

Small and medium businesses need accurate double-entry bookkeeping, but low-level journal entry alone is slow for everyday work. FrontAccounting ERP, published as FA, is a web-based accounting application that combines both: a user-friendly, document-based interface for routine business activity, with automatic general ledger postings generated behind the scenes. The system supports multicurrency and multilanguage operation, and it is maintained by the FrontAccounting team with an active worldwide user community. It runs on any HTTP server with PHP, such as Apache with mod_php or IIS, and stores its data in MySQL or MariaDB with InnoDB tables, which provide the transactions the software depends on. Installation is handled by a setup wizard in the browser. FA is released under the GPL v3 license. It suits accountants and business owners who want a self-hosted accounting system they can inspect and adapt, and it is documented in the project's wiki and user forum.
