Make Accounting great—together.
We're building a community for people who use, build on, and care about Accounting. We believe it's one of the strongest business platforms out there. We've also seen how much value independent builders create—and how often end users just need a clear path to connect, learn, and get work done.
Why we exist
Share how to make Accounting great.
Practical patterns, checklists, and code—not sales pitches.
Help DIYers do it right.
We spotlight common pitfalls and proven approaches so teams avoid costly missteps.
Connect end users and independent builders.
Direct relationships, transparent rates, faster outcomes.
What we're building
- •A knowledge base of open guides, playbooks, and example code.
- •A discussion space where questions get real answers from practitioners.
- •A talent directory and job board to connect directly with developers—no unnecessary middlemen.
What we believe
Open by default.
There are no "proprietary secrets" to implementation basics. We publish how it's done so everyone can learn and improve.
Context over cookie-cutters.
Almost every implementation is different; one-size-fits-all rarely works. We emphasize principles and decision trees, not rigid templates.
Merit over marketing.
We highlight great work from independent builders and companies because of results and contributions—not sponsorships or spend.
Direct beats marked-up.
When it's possible, hiring builders directly reduces large markups without added value and keeps more budget with the people doing the work.
Respect the platform.
Configure before you customize. Build cleanly. Leave the instance better than you found it.
Common pitfalls we help you avoid
- •Customizing before fully using native features (workflows, roles, permissions, saved searches).
- •Hard-coding IDs or business logic instead of using parameters and configuration.
- •Skipping sandbox, version control, and deployment discipline (SDF/SuiteBundler).
- •Overloading saved searches or scripts without performance and governance in mind.
- •Poor documentation, no change management, no testing plan.
- •Treating every problem like a script when a configuration or process change would suffice.
For do-it-yourself teams
Start with our quick wins: setup checklists, "before-you-customize" guides, and sample patterns you can adapt to your business.
For builders and companies
Share your patterns, publish example bundles, and connect with teams who value craftsmanship. We also provide a place to promote services based on proof of work and community feedback—not awards.
Our open-source stance
We're "open-source at heart." We publish methods and example code under permissive licenses (e.g., MIT/Apache-2.0) unless a project specifies otherwise. Attribution matters. So does clarity—every repo or snippet clearly states its license.
