SQL Account alternative
A modern, pay-once alternative to SQL Account
SQL Account is a popular, well-supported Malaysian accounting package. If you'd rather pay once, own your data, and use a lighter app on Mac or Windows, Orbit Finance is built for that.
SQL Account is widely used by Malaysian SMEs and accountants, with strong support and add-on modules. It's also a Windows desktop tool with an ongoing maintenance cost and a feature surface bigger than many small businesses use. Orbit Finance keeps the essentials (bookkeeping, invoicing, e-Invoice, live statements) in a modern app you buy once.
