data-importer VS gnucash_journal_cube

RTFM https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer/

theres some third parties that give you an API directly I believe. Firefly III lists salt edge and nordigen.

https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer/

Firefly III is missing plenty of features (see below). I started Firefly III with a single user (me) and everything else is a bonus.

https://docs.firefly-iii.org/firefly-iii/about-firefly-iii/w...

I will admit that I caved under pressure and built the Firefly III Data Importer:

https://github.com/firefly-iii/data-importer

It can connect to your bank via Salt Edge if it is supported. Here is the documentation on the data importer - https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer/

for auto-sync you need https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer with API from Salt Edge or Nordingen.

You can easily import data into Firefly III using their data importer[0] and Nordigen API or Spectre (usage is explained in [0]). Doing so automatically is just a matter of running a cron job

The problem I have with gnucash is handling over data to an accountant to do yearly tax etc...

I have written https://github.com/dorfsmay/gnucash_general_journal and it help somehow but it still is a lot of work for them and can be confusing if they're not willing to spend the time on it + time they spend is money they charge me.

I plan to change this to output to OFX sheets separating the different accounts, hoping it helps.

I'm surprised there are no standard for accounting data and would love to hear from accountants what would help them importing data in their systems.

I also wrote a script to export all transactions to a csv file (one line per transaction, one column per account), like a mega General Journal: https://github.com/dorfsmay/gnucash_general_journal
