Can anyone recommend a good online accounting application for small businesses in Europe? Most of the ones that are mentioned here are quite USA centric. Tax requirements in Europe are a bit different, which I guess also presents a problem as they differ from country to country.

I'm trying to find something that works with the Danish tax system (where I currently live), and the only one I have found so far is: http://www.e-conomic.com/, but it seems a bit heavyweight for my needs (small freelancing business.)

Why not see for yourself if mme is right? (he/she is!)

e-conomic is very flexible, with a lot of smart and complexed functionality if you want to use it, but you also have the option to keep it simple :-) it its your decision!

You can take a free trial here: http://www.e-conomic.dk/regnskabsprogram/demo/ and your have the option too choose english language in the userface.

Taxes in sql-ledger are configurable. You can add taxes with %ages etc. A large number of people are using it in Europe.

SQL-Ledger has really helpful user community behind it. I would suggest you to join the mailing list (http://bit.ly/bsCbV5) and ask your questions about your concerns there. There must be someone with Danish experience.

Hi, was interested to see your comment on E-conomic - in fact I've found it works very well for small businesses and freelancers. It does have a lot of functionality but you can simply choose to use as much or as little of it as you need.
