Eric, I started out the same way, using gnucash for personal books and added my sole proprietorship business activity at a later date. Like you, even if I setup a new business bank account, I’d invariably have some expenses that would involve apportioning part of the expense to business side

I’m not sure I understand. The period column isn’t tied to any fixed period. It is just showing current balances as of date. And if you have any future dated transactions in the same register, then the Total column shows the final future balance. My fiscal year runs Apr to Mar, so my future

That’s not true, Adrien. When I first started using GnuCash, I thought I’d go with MySQL database and that’s where I found both debug and standard packages available for download. Of course, I settled on compressed xml later because I find it easier to backup one file instead of a database.

Jim, The default account hierarchy that’s provided when you choose investment accounts is just that. You can choose to have it per your tracking requirements. Like you, my parent brokerage account is a placeholder and I have a $Cash account under that which acts as a staging account for buys
