• hledger-flow

  3 157 3.7 Haskell

  An hledger/ledger-cli workflow focusing on automated statement import and classification

I use hledger-flow [1]. It's an opinionated way of importing csvs into the hledger format. Works really well for me, just export the csvs, write a mapping and you are good to go.

It supports preprocessing the csvs if you need to clean the data or compute some new fields which is really powerful. Once you are up and running it only needs some minor updates each month to map unidentifiable transactions I can do this in under an hour these days.

Shameless self plug: ive been building a similar open source command line accounting system

Its heavily inspired by both ledger and beancount but my biggest issue with them is that text files arnt great for double entry bookkeeping. Having a relational database is the better option which is what GoDBLedger has.

After a certain point a business cant keep track of its transactions in text files because there are simply too many of them, so these systems really only scale to personal finance levels (few hundred transactions maybe thousand transactions).

In addition building plugins that can import your whole text file into a sql system so you can query them is redundant. Just have it in a relational database to start with.
