@thomas do you know any open source clojure projects that need help? I'm still trying to find a project i can contribute too.

I just saw something about cljs-ajax

that it has some low hanging fruit.

that might be something @guy

Thanks! I'll check it out. https://github.com/JulianBirch/cljs-ajax/issues this one right?

yup

thanks!

Morning, even

Anyone here have experience with the cloud versions of Quickbooks and/or Xero?

i've used xero plenty @yogidevbear

How do you find it in terms of usability?

I need to use something for my wife's small business

Xero seems to be a little bit more pricey overall though

pretty straightforward - i used it on my own for a personal contracting business for a while, and my last two proper businesses have used it along with some real accountants to do month-end, year-end and VAT stuff

currently, for me, the app makes it very easy to track expenses and documentation

The reviews I've read seem to imply that the UX is generally better with Xero. I think I'd prefer to use it, but we'd probably have to go with the standard version which is £22/mo

Compared to Quickbooks Essentials which we can get for around £6/mo through our accountant

Kind of feels like a no brainer in terms of fees

That said, I'm sure there's some fine print I'm not aware of (like the fees for taking payments via quickbooks vs xero, etc)

I use http://crunch.co.uk which is accountant + their own software for £70/mo

that's a pretty good deal as long as the s/w is ok @glenjamin

That is pretty good. We've managed to find a lovely accountant who only charges us around £42/mo to do the company books, tax, etc. plus personal tax returns. So if I add Quickbooks on for £6/mo that comes to £48/mo.

it is decent software, everything integrates neatly. Does quickbooks allow your accountant to log in?

Yup. Essentials package allows 3 users

we use freeagent (and I used it as a contractor) and we're pretty happy with that
