I'm so lost.  I have installed CE on my server and it appears to have the Accounting module. I enabled developer mode with assets and then gave Accounting to my user as an access permission and I now see Accounting.

However, everyone is telling me that Accounting is not part of the CE.  

So, if that's the case, I need to figure out what direction to go.  I am a Quickbooks users. Sole Proprietorship. I need to be able to keep track of bank transactions, customer invoices, purchase orders, and I need to be able to run reports for my accountant.

The pricing model on the sign up pages for Enterprise are a jumbled mess.  If I click Pricing at the top of the site, I'm presented with a yearly or monthly "user" rate, but the moment I click any single app, the price drops to zero.

What would I be paying for if I signed up for a single user license and didn't select an app?

Is this an affordable solution compared to Quickbooks (who just doubled my pricing this year.)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just an amendment to Ray's answer: you can stay with the community edition and get almost full fledged accounting with modules from the Odoo Community Association (OCA). You can check their app store at www.odoo-community.org

Just start with Odoo 12.0 instead of 13.0 or wait until the community modules you need are available for version 13.0. "Mission critical" OCA apps from the accounting perspective for choosing the appropriate CE version are your country localization and the MIS Builder.

You should stay with OCA apps/modules only, if you want to keep a migration path to future versions by using OCA's OpenUpgrade.

Accounting is not included with Community.

Invoicing is - which is why you were able to give yourself access to Accounting but this isn't functionally complete and is a hack.  You will see more functionality but it is really ONLY enough for Billing. 

There are Apps that add more Accounting capabilities to the Community Edition on the Odoo Apps Store at http://apps.odoo.com 

You can't do anything other than record Invoices, Bills, Credits and Payments with the Community Edition.  No GL access, Bank Statements, dynamic Reports, etc.

Your FIRST App with Odoo ONLINE is free, which is why the price drops to zero.  This offer is not available if you self host.

You cannot use Odoo without at least one App.

Pricing is based on (1) Apps you use and (2) Users you add.  Two amounts per month.
