Ledgerling
Bookkeeping a non-accountant can follow; onboarding throws too much at you.

Most bookkeeping software assumes you already speak accountant. Ledgerling doesn’t — it teaches double-entry as you go, in plain language, without dumbing the model down. For a solo founder who’s been faking it with a spreadsheet, that’s a real gift.
The onboarding is the weak point: it throws chart-of-accounts decisions at you before you’ve earned the context to make them, and I bailed out twice before it clicked. Push through that and the core is sound. This is the rare finance tool I’d trust a nervous first-timer with.
