Bigcapital adds cash and accrual basis accounting to its open-source books.

◆Current state
Bigcapital is an open-source accounting product releasing every week or two. v0.25.45 (October 23) brings cash and accrual basis accounting across journals, bills, credit notes and vendor credits, with a basis switch on the journal and trial balance reports. The releases before it added bank rules that apply to all accounts, report date presets and Plaid sync fixes, alongside a long run of report-correctness fixes.
◆Where it's heading
The work is moving from features to accounting correctness: aging summaries, cash flow, ledger running balances and sales tax liability were all fixed in September, and the accounting-basis work extends that into how every transaction posts. Security fixes such as secure invite tokens show a codebase hardening for wider self-hosting.
◆Prediction
Expect the accounting-basis switch to reach more reports and transaction types in the next releases. Version labels are inconsistent (v0.15.43 sits between v0.25.42 and v0.25.44), so tag numbers are not a reliable guide.
