Need a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) team to build for me a first class accounting software for small businesses.
Functions and features should be comparable to Quickbooks online and ePeachtree. Software must handle multiple companies books and allow books of selected companies to be consolidated for management and regulatory reporting.
Only bidders with good understanding of accounting functions please. Bidder welcome to deliver in parts, with milestone payment for each part completed.
Bid must include description of software you will develop (this should be easy for those who understand accounting).
Bidder may use his/her own pre-existing intellectual property provided bid includes a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license for me to use, modify, re-sell and commercially exploit the software in any way I deem fit. Bids based on pre-existing intellectual property must be accompanied with a demo of the software.
Phase Two will involve adding regulatory reporting functions for specific States.

Successful bidder will also have opportunity to provide ongoing customization and maintenance service.
So, plenty of work to follow.
